After you submit a fly-tipping report to Welwyn Hatfield Council, you will receive an acknowledgment email confirming your reference number. The Environment Team will review the details of your report. If the fly-tipped items are located on public land, the council will pass the information to a contractor for clearance and may involve the Enforcement team for further investigation if necessary. However, if the items are on private land, the council will not be able to arrange for their clearance.
Here’s a quick summary of what to expect:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Acknowledgment | You will receive an email with a reference number. |
| Review | Your report is reviewed by the Environment Team. |
| Clearance (Public Land) | If on public land, it’s sent to a contractor for clearance. |
| Further Investigation | May be passed to the Enforcement team if needed. |
| No Action (Private Land) | No clearance arranged for items on private land. |
For effective reporting, it’s helpful to provide a description of the items, their location, and any images if possible. You can find more details about reporting fly-tipping here.
