If you witness fly-tipping happening, it’s crucial to prioritize your safety first. You should call the Police immediately at 999 and provide as much information as you can, but do not confront those responsible for the act.
To report fly-tipping after it occurs, you will need to collect some details and submit a report to the council. Here’s what you need to provide:
| Information Required | Description |
|---|---|
| Description of items | What was dumped (e.g., furniture, bags, etc.) |
| Location of waste | Where the fly-tipping took place |
| Images or documents | Optional, but helpful for identification |
You can start your report here. If the waste is on public land, the Environment Team will handle the clearance. However, note that the council cannot clear fly-tips on private land.
