After you report fly-tipping, Hounslow says it will visit the scene, work out how much rubbish there is and whether it’s the council’s responsibility, and then remove it if it is. The council also looks for evidence to try to prosecute offenders.
| What Hounslow says it will do | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Visit the scene | Check the amount of rubbish and responsibility |
| Remove the waste | If it is the council’s responsibility |
| Look for evidence | With a view to prosecuting offenders |
| Enforce penalties | £1,000 fine for those caught fly-tipping; failure to pay, or persistent or large-scale fly-tipping, can lead to prosecution and an unlimited fine |
If you saw people or a vehicle involved, those details help the council investigate more effectively.
