Service Description: The council has responsibility for acting on reports of flytipping on council owned land; to both remove the waste and to locate and prosecute the offenders. Where the waste is hazardous the council has a responsibility to ensure public safety until such time as the waste can be removed.
Also known as:- Fly Tipping
Answer: Whilst the Council cannot remove the flytipped waste from private land, if there is good evidence within the waste of the origin, or a witness to the deposit, we will work with colleagues in Environmental Health with a view to taking formal enforcement action against the offenders. If you become aware of any such instances where there is good evidence, please contact our Waste department on 01983 823777.
