Fly-tipping is the illegal deposit of waste on land without permission. Not only is it illegal it is also harmful to the environment and costs the taxpayers thousands of pounds each year to clear up.
If you see waste that has been dumped, or see waste being dumped - report it. Never put yourself at risk by collecting any potential evidence when you find any fly-tip.
All information is useful so record as much as you can including
- location (be as accurate as possible to help us locate the waste)
- type of waste
- write down the vehicle number plate if viewed and details
- details of what has been dumped
- date and time
If fly-tipping is on council-owned land we will remove it. We will investigate all fly-tipping incidents for evidence to help us find the person responsible, so we can prosecute them.
