Useful evidence for a fly-tipping report includes the location, a description of what was dumped, and anything that helps identify who did it. West Norfolk also says photos are helpful — ideally a wide shot of the fly-tip in its original place plus close-up shots of the evidence.
| Useful evidence | What to include |
|---|---|
| Witness details | If you saw who dumped the rubbish, tell the council. |
| Vehicle details | Registration plate, colour, make, or any other details of vehicles involved. |
| Photos | Wide shot of the fly-tip where it was found, plus close-ups of evidence. |
| Physical evidence | Leave any evidence at the site, but upload photos with your report. |
| Supporting information | Anything else that may help, like CCTV, dashcam footage, or relevant observations. |
If you’re reporting current fly-tipping, you can also check the live incident map first — if it matches what you’ve found or is on the same road, West Norfolk says you don’t need to report it again.
