Fly-tipping is a crime
Fly tipping can make an area look -
- ugly
- uncared for
- pose a risk to health and the local environment
We treat fly-tipping very seriously.
Instances of fly-tipping are always investigated where evidence is found to help identify and locate those responsible for this activity and enforcement action taken.
To tackle fly-tipping, we may use CCTV in locations to identify offenders. Decisions regarding the deployment of mobile CCTV is taken in response to service requests and operational data, not individual requests. If we obtain evidence, we will seek to identify and locate those responsible for this activity and take enforcement action.
If you pay someone to remove your waste and it is found fly-tipped you can be fined and get a criminal record.
If you pay someone to remove your waste, you must always ensure they are authorised by the Environment Agency to do so. If they are not authorised, they are an illegal waste carrier.
