If a landowner is unresponsive to issues of fly-tipping on their property, the council generally cannot remove the waste, as it is the landowner's responsibility. However, Rossendale Council will investigate the situation and take enforcement action against the landowner if they are not taking proper steps to manage the fly-tipped waste. If the council successfully prosecutes the offender responsible for the fly-tipping, they can recover the costs of removal from the landowner.
To report fly-tipping or to get further assistance, you can use the online reporting form provided by the council. Here's the link: report fly-tipping online.
