Find out information on fly tipping and how to report it.
Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste.
Common fly tipped items include:
Fly tipping is a criminal offence. If you see waste fly tipped report it to us and we will investigate. Provide us with as much detail as possible including:
Please do not tamper with or remove any evidence or waste from the site.
We investigate every case and if we recover evidence, we may prosecute those responsible.
We have the power to seize vehicles, issue a fixed penalty notice of £400 or to prosecute. This could result in an unlimited fine and or up to five years in prison. Offenders will also have to pay any costs of the investigation, clean up, vehicle recovery costs and legal fees.
We clean up fly-tipping on land we own and on public highways or roads. If the land is privately owned the landowner is responsible for clearing the fly-tipping.
If you use someone else (like a 'man with a van') to remove your rubbish, always check they have a waste carriers licence. Staff at our household waste recycling centres will check documentation.
If your rubbish is fly-tipped, you can be fined.
It is your duty of care to dispose of your waste correctly. You could be fined an unlimited amount if your waste ends up fly-tipped, and you cannot show that you took reasonable steps to prevent it.
You must use a licensed waste carrier, or take your waste to a registered site.
How to check if your waste carrier is licensed:
