Fly-tipping on public land

We are responsible for looking after public land to make sure it is clean for everyone to enjoy. This includes roads, parks, and town centres.

Report fly-tipping on public land

If you see somebody fly tipping, make note of:

• the day, date, and time you saw the tipping
• how many people were fly-tipping and what they looked like
• any vehicles involved (make, colour, and registration number)
• what was tipped and how much

What happens after you report

After you report fly-tipping, we will inform our Environmental Improvement Team, who will look for evidence of who the fly-tipped waste belongs to.

We will remove fly-tipped waste within 15 working days of it being reported.

If the waste is hazardous or a dangerous obstruction, we will make it safe or remove it within 24 hours. Hazardous waste includes asbestos, chemical or oil drums, gas canisters, paint, and needles or drug paraphernalia.
