Where's the Fly-tip?

Help us stop filthy f******ers* across Broadland and South Norfolk.

*Fly-tippers

Fly-tipping and littering have a negative impact on your environment and health, as well as posing a significant cost to taxpayers.

Everyone has a legal duty to dispose of their waste correctly. It is a criminal offence to dump waste without authorisation.

Combatting fly-tippers

It is our role to deal with fly-tipping, catch those responsible and hold them to account.

To do this, we need to know:

Where’s the Fly-tip – to the best of your ability describe where the fly-tip has occurred. You can do this by using What3Words, another location sharing tool or by using street names or landmarks to help guide us.

What’s the Fly-tip – send or upload a photo showing us, or briefly describe to us what has been fly-tipped.

Who’s the Fly-tipper – let us know if you witnessed it happening, or if there could be clues as to who may have dumped it.

We will investigate incidents of fly-tipping and take enforcement action where possible and remove waste that has been fly-tipped or littered on the public highway or land we own.

We cannot remove waste that has been dumped on private land; this is the responsibility of the landowner.

How can I properly dispose of my waste legally?

The majority of household waste can be taken to one of Norfolk County Council's recycling centres.

Private companies

Some private companies also offer waste disposal services. As the householder it is your responsibility to ensure your waste is correctly disposed of. Here's how:

• ask to see their waste carriers licence issued by the Environment Agency (if they can't supply this then don’t use them). To check a licence you can call the Environment Agency on 03708 506 506
• ask where they will be taking the waste
• keep a record of any paperwork they give you including their name, address and waste carrier licence number

If you pay someone to take away your waste who is not a registered waste carrier and your waste is fly-tipped, you are responsible for this.

If you are found guilty of breaching the Household Waste Duty of Care Regulations 2005 you could face a fine up to £5,000.
