What Should I Do If I Witness Fly-tipping?

AI Summary

If you witness fly-tipping, it's important to report it right away, as it's illegal and harmful to the environment. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Record as much information as possible:

    • Location (be specific)
    • Type of waste
    • Vehicle number plate (if seen)
    • Details of what was dumped
    • Date and time of the incident
  2. Check if the fly-tip has already been reported using the fly-tip mapping layer, which is updated every 90 minutes.

  3. To report the incident, use the online reporting tool.

It’s crucial not to put yourself at risk or attempt to collect evidence yourself. The council will handle the cleanup and investigate each incident.
