What Should I Do If I Witness Fly-tipping?

AI Summary

If you witness fly-tipping, it's important to report it promptly without putting yourself at risk. Runnymede Council encourages you to gather as much information as possible, such as the location, type of waste, vehicle number plate, and the date and time you observed it. They will investigate reported incidents and take action to remove the waste if it's on council-owned land.

  1. Check the Fly-Tip Mapping Layer: First, verify if the incident has already been reported, as the mapping layer is updated every 90 minutes.
