Why rubbish is stolen from bins?
- Identity Theft
Bin raiders look for personal documents to steal identities and commit fraud.
- Selling valuables:
They may search for semi-valuable items to clean up and resell.
- Bin theft for personal use:
In some areas, bins are stolen to avoid paying for them, as they may be provided by the council or paid for by homeowners.
