About fly-tipping

Fines

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste.

You can be issued a fine if you don't dispose of your waste correctly. The fines we can issue are detailed below.

Fly Tipping

Under the S33 (1)(a) Environmental Protection Act 1990, the Clean Neighbourhood Team can issue fines, called Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN), to people convicted of fly-tipping. The FPN is £800. This is discounted for early payment (within 10 days) to £400.

On summary of conviction, the offence attracts an unlimited fine.
