Did you know dodgy waste carriers can ruin your bank balance, as well as the local area?
You are responsible for ensuring waste is disposed of legally once it leaves your home. That means if your waste is fly tipped by an unlicensed waste carrier that you’ve hired, you will receive a fine of up to £400. You may also be taken to court, where you face an unlimited fine if prosecuted.
Those who fly tip themselves face prosecution, an unlimited fine and up to five years in prison.
Luckily it is easy to avoid getting caught out by these waste scammers. Simply follow the steps below:
You might also consider using the Council's own bulky waste collection service (see below).
The Council operates a bulky waste collection service where we collect and dispose of larger item, such as furniture, white good and mattresses.
There are four household waste and recycling centres in the Borough. Most waste is free to dispose of. There are charges for householders taking soil and rubble (£3 per standard rubble sack or item of sanitary ware), asbestos (£12 per sheet) and plasterboard (£10 per sheet / £6 per bag).
We will remove illegally dumped rubbish from the public highway or Council owned land as soon as possible and will work with the Environment Agency to remove larger accumulations. We are also able to provide advice on fly-tipping on private land but the responsibility for its removal falls to the landowner.
If you have any information that may help to identify where the fly-tipped waste came from or who the offender is, please use the ‘Full report’ button below so our team can investigate the incident. Your information could help to stop a prolific fly-tipper, protecting the local environment.
If you have no information about who the offender is or where the waste may have come from, you can use the ‘Basic report’ button below, which will notify our StreetScene team to arrange collection of the waste.
