If you see dumped rubbish on private land in Havering, the council will investigate the report but won't clear it themselves. They will then request the private landowner to arrange for the removal of the fly-tipped waste. If the dumped rubbish is posing an immediate danger outside normal hours, you should contact their out-of-hours emergency line.
Here’s what to do:
| Action Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Report the fly-tipping | Fill out the council's online reporting form. |
| Emergency contact (if immediate danger) | Call 01708 433999 during out-of-hours (5pm to 9am weekdays, weekends). |
| Information on ownership of land | The landowner is responsible for removing rubbish on private land. |
It's important to note that if you know who is responsible for the fly-tipping, you should also provide that information to the council. You can report dumped rubbish online here.
