Report a fly-tip
Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of rubbish. It is a criminal act and can result in an unlimited fine and imprisonment.
How we respond to reports
We can only deal with fly-tipped rubbish that's on public land. We aim to remove it within five working days of receiving a report.
Fly tips are crime scenes. We collect evidence and use it to prosecute offenders. Sometimes, our investigation may cause a delay to collection of the fly tip. You can opt in if you're interested in receiving updates about investigations and prosecutions.
We will pass on reports of large-scale fly-tips, hazardous waste and fly-tipping by organised gangs to the Environment Agency.
What you need to tell us
To report a fly-tip you will need to tell us:
- where it is
- roughly how big it is
- the type of rubbish it contains, if you can tell (don't touch it, as it might be hazardous)
You can also provide photographs, if it is safe to do so.
