To combat fly-tipping, Runnymede Borough Council takes several measures aimed at prevention and response. They are proactive in investigating incidents, removing waste from council-owned land, and attempting to track down the individuals responsible for illegal dumping to prosecute them.
Here are the key measures the council employs:
| Measure | Description |
|---|---|
| Waste Removal | Fly-tipping on council-owned land is promptly cleared by the council. |
| Investigation | Each reported fly-tip incident is thoroughly investigated for evidence leading to prosecution. |
| Public Reporting | The council encourages the public to report fly-tipping incidents with detailed information. |
| Fly-tip Mapping | A mapping service updates every 90 minutes to check on reported fly-tips, preventing redundant reports. |
Residents are encouraged to report any fly-tipping they witness by providing as much detail as possible, including location and descriptions of the waste. Check out this page to report a fly-tip.
