We will:
We’ve made it even easier for you to report fly tipping when you're out and about.

Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. This includes items such as:
We can issue fly tippers with a fixed penalty notice of £400.
Alternatively, we can prosecute. If convicted, the person can be issued with unlimited fines and a custodial sentence of up to 3 years.
If you've got too much rubbish for your bin, or if your rubbish is too big, there are lots of places where you can get rid of it for free.
If the rubbish is on private land, it's the responsibility of the owner or occupier to have it cleared.
If they don't do this, then we can serve them with a legal notice to ensure it happens.
If you don't have access to a computer, you can visit a Library Plus branch where you can use a self-service pc to log your request/report. Staff are available to support you if you need it.
