Fly-tipping (dumped rubbish)

Rubbish on residential or business premises

We will investigate complaints of fly-tipping / rubbish accumulation if evidence is provided.

If we can identify the offender, financial penalties will be issued and, if necessary, more serious issues will be referred to the local magistrates' court for prosecution.

Offenders can be:

  • fined up to £50,000 in magistrates' court 
  • fined an unlimited amount in crown court 
  • given community service  
  • sent to prison for up to 5 years.

Make a report online, if you have:

  • witnessed fly-tipping or dumped rubbish 
  • photographs or videos of fly-tipping 
  • details of the offender (a description, a name and/or other information)
  • a description of any vehicles involved in the fly-tipping (ie model, make, colour and registration)
  • an exact location of the fly-tipping 
  • the time of the of the fly-tipping 
  • The direction they came from and left in (if you know their address) 
  • any other evidence that could help us catch fly-tippers.

What happens next?

If we are able to take action, we will usually serve a statutory notice, requiring the owner or occupier to remove, and properly dispose of, the rubbish within 21 days.

Failure to comply with the notice will result in either prosecution or the council will carry out the work, which will be charged to the owner or occupier.
