Fly tipping is the illegal deposit of waste on land.
Common items include
- white goods
- mattresses
- construction waste
- household waste
- garden waste
It is a serious criminal offence. We have the power to seize vehicles, issue a fixed penalty notice of £400 or to prosecute. This could result in an unlimited fine and/or up to five years in prison.
We are not responsible for clearing waste from private land, the landowner is.
