Fly-tipping

• What is fly-tipping?
• Where we remove fly-tipping
• Why is fly-tipping a problem
• Fly-tipping campaign #IfOnly
• How to dispose of your waste legally

To report fly-tipping tell us:

• Where the waste is and if it is near to water (such as a stream or river).
• What has been dumped and how much
• Details of the incident such as description and number of people involved
• Make, colour and registration of vehicle and any special markings
• Your details (optional)

We aim to remove fly-tipping within five working days. There may be a delay for heavy items.

If you find 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
• However, do not do anything that could put yourself in danger

Please note: It is always the responsibility of the landowner to clear up fly-tipping on their land.
