What Happens After I Report Fly-tipping?

When you report fly-tipping in Medway, the council treats all information as confidential and uses it to assist in preventing future incidents. Here's what happens next:

• The council aims to remove the illegal waste from council-owned land as soon as possible, prioritizing based on location and risk.
• If the waste is hazardous or requires specialist removal, there may be delays.
• You may need to provide a witness statement to support legal action against the fly-tipper, which may involve appearing in court.

Overall, your report helps in the investigation and can lead to prosecutions, both for the offenders and for ensuring safer community environments.
