Flytipping

If you find some illegally dumped waste, please remember:

• Don't disturb the site in case there is evidence that could lead to catching and prosecuting those responsible
• Don't touch the waste because it may include toxic chemicals, asbestos or broken glass
• Visually inspect the waste so you can pass accurate information on
• Make a note of what the waste is, how much there is and if it is near to water (such as a stream or river) 
• Record details of the incident such as description and number of people involved
• Make, colour and registration of vehicle and any special markings

However, do not do anything that could put yourself in danger.

Pass the information on to us and we will do the rest. The Neighbourhood Warden Team will then investigate and try to identify the offender. In these cases we can take enforcement action against the perpetrator.

The Environment Agency also operates a 24 hour emergency hotline on 0800 807 060.
