Flytipping
Flytipping is the illegal dumping of
waste.The council have a free of charge civic amenity collection service to remove bulky items and waste in order to avoid the problem of flytipping, which has a detrimental effect on the environment.
Each year, we respond to over 4,000 incidents of flytipping which currently costs £250,000 to remove.
We issue £75 fines for littering offences.
If you see incidents of rubbish being tipped in your area, please contact us using the details below.
If you discover flytipped waste after the tippers have left, please follow these simple Do's and Dont's:
- Do not touch the waste. Flytipped waste can be dangerous - it may contain syringes, broken glass, asbestos, toxic chemicals or other hazardous substances.
- Visually inspect the waste. Try to determine what the waste consists of and how much there is.
- Take note of its exact location and also, whether it is in or near water.
- Do not disturb the site. There may be evidence that could help identify the culprits and lead to their prosecution.
Remember - don't put yourself at risk!
