SBV also reached out to councillor Billy on Twitter and said, “The waste was dumped illegally by a third party and we immediately ensured it was cleared. None of the waste was confidential – it was, for example, paper slips used in our cash processing machines to demarcate quantities. We have reviewed and improved our process.”
