Where's the fly-tip?

WTF* - *Where's the Fly-tip?

Illegal dumping of waste on public or private land or in water is a growing concern.

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 saw 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 the 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.
