If you find fly tipping on private land, it is the responsibility of the landowner to remove the waste. West Lothian Council cannot clear fly tipping from private property but they may contact the landowner to notify them of the issue.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Contact the landowner | Notify them about the fly tipping |
| 2. Report to WLC if needed | You can report it to West Lothian Council at Report Illegal Fly Tipping |
It's important to report any fly tipping incidents so the council can keep track of trends and allocate resources effectively. If it’s a recurring problem, communicating with the landowner may help to prevent future incidents.
