Fly Tipping
Flytipping is the illegal deposit of waste.
The council works in partnership with Bulky Bobs for the removal of household bulky items.
If you discover flytipping in action:
- take vehicle registration details
- note the time and location
- take a description of what waste you have witnessed being dumped
- take a description of the people dumping the waste
- use a camera phone or camera if you have one on you; this will be really helpful when prosecuting offenders
- do not approach anyone who you witness fly tipping
- contact us straight away.
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.
