If you see fly-tipping happening in real-time, it's important to act quickly but safely. You should call the police at 999 and provide as much detail as possible about the incident while avoiding any confrontation with the perpetrators.
Here's a quick reference on what to do if you witness fly-tipping:
| Action | Instruction |
|---|---|
| Call Emergency Services | Dial 999 |
| Provide Information | Describe the rubbish/items and location |
| Stay Safe | Do not confront the perpetrators |
Remember, fly-tipping is illegal, and reporting it helps keep the community clean. If you want to report fly-tipped items after the fact, you can do so through the council's reporting system for further assistance. For more details, check out the page on reporting fly-tipping.
