What to include in your fly tipping report

Record as many details as possible:

exact location
date and time that you discovered the fly tipping
details and photos of the items.

If you saw the fly tipping happen:

vehicle's registration number and details
description of the fly tippers (and photos if possible)
direction they were travelling.

Fly tipping on your property

After reporting the flytipping, please try to secure it with a temporary fence so the evidence is not disturbed.

As a private land owner, it is your responsibility to ensure the flytipped waste is legally disposed of, including any costs. If the flytippers are prosecuted you may be refunded your clean-up costs.

How to dispose of it

Put it in your rubbish or recycling bins.
Large items (over 25kg, such as a fridge) can be collected by a reuse scheme or by your district council for a fee.
Get it collected by a registered waste carrier.

What we're doing to reduce littering

District and borough councils are running a number of initiatives, including:

anti litter posters in common littering areas
enforcement officers who can issue fixed penalty notices
recycling on-the-go bins in public areas
litter picking equipment to borrow
talks on littering for schools and community groups.
