What Happens After I Report the Dumping Incident?

AI Summary

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.
