What Happens After I Report the Dumping Incident?

After you report a fly-tipping incident, the council will take action to investigate and arrange for the removal of the illegally dumped rubbish. Here's what to expect next:

1. A Waste Officer will assess the situation and collect evidence.
2. If evidence is found pointing to a potential offender, they may face prosecution, which can result in penalties including fines or imprisonment.
3. If the rubbish is on private land, the landowner is responsible for its removal.

For more details or to report an incident, you can visit the council's fly-tipping page: report fly-tipping. It's important not to disturb any evidence at the scene, so please report it as is.
