Most people put their rubbish out on the right day, in the right way. Do you?
Fly-tipping (dumped rubbish) comes with a hefty penalty. Whether it’s an unwanted mattress or a lorry load of rubble, fly-tipping is against the law and can result in a penalty of up to £50,000 or imprisonment for up to five years! Clean streets are something our residents and businesses care about. And so do we. That's why, if you fly-tip, we'll track you down and prosecute you if we can. Don't be a fly-tipper!
You can help by reporting fly-tipping
We'll need to know:
- Where the rubbish has been dumped
- What has been dumped
If you saw the event, this information will help us track down the person who did it and take enforcement action against them.
- Who dumped the rubbish (if known) and a description of the person.
- Details of any vehicles used.
- The time the rubbish was dumped.
- If it was witnessed by anybody else and if so, their details.
There's more information in our Environmental Health and Public Protection Enforcement Policy (pdf 378KB).
