What Happens After I Report Fly-tipping?

AI Summary

Once you report fly-tipping to Rotherham Council, the response depends on whether the rubbish is on Council land or private property. Here's what you can expect:

Location of Fly-Tipping Action Taken
Council Land Rotherham Council aims to remove the rubbish within 4 working days, though this may take longer if further investigation or specialist equipment is needed.
Private Land It is the responsibility of the landowner to clear the rubbish. The Council may investigate if evidence is found.

It's important not to search through or remove items from the fly-tipping area yourself, as it could be dangerous. For more information on reporting fly-tipping, you can visit Rotherham's fly-tipping report page.
