A popular car boot sale in the Midlands has issued a stern warning to both sellers and buyers about the consequences of fly-tipping at their events. Following last weekend’s gathering at Furnace End Market and Car Boot Sale in Over Whitacre, numerous items, including chairs and a sofa, were reportedly left behind.
The organisers posted a polite but firm notice on social media emphasizing the importance of taking all litter and unsold goods home. They reminded attendees that leaving items behind is illegal fly-tipping, which can lead to hefty fines of up to £2,500, permanent bans from future events, or even prosecution.
Furnace End Market, a long-standing venue cherished by bargain hunters for over 30 years, stressed that all pitches must be left clean. Dumping rubbish violates environmental protection laws, and the organisers maintain a zero-tolerance policy to preserve the scenic Warwickshire countryside.

The notice reads: “Sellers and buyers, please ensure you take all unsold items and rubbish home with you. Failure to comply will result in serious consequences. Help us keep this beautiful area tidy for everyone to enjoy.”
This reminder serves as both a call to responsibility and a commitment to environmental care by the Furnace End community.
