Waste - Fly tipped on public land and highways

We are responsible for removing fly tipping from public land and public highways, including verges, footpaths and bridleways.

If the waste blocks the road or presents an immediate hazard to traffic report it to the County Council Highways Department on 01386 565188.

Waste - Fly tipped on private land

Client Services are unable to deal with waste tipped on private land as it is the responsibility of the landowner.  If it presents a health hazard it should be reported to our Environmental Health Department on the Environmental Crime hotline on 01386 565656 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday (answerphone after office hours).  For more information visit the Environmental Services information page

Report Flytipping

Fly tipping is a criminal act.  People caught illegally dumping waste can be fined up to £50,000 or face five years in prison.    

We will investigate all incidents of flytipping and prosecute offenders where sufficient evidence is available.

If you see someone fly tipping write down as many relevant details as possible:

• A description of the people fly tipping
• Full description of any vehicle involved, especially the registration
• What was fly tipped
• What kind of view you had and whether anyone else was with you
• Do not approach the fly tipper
• Do not place yourself in danger

As well as ringing the Fly Tipping Hotline (details above) you can alternatively  fill in our online Flytipping Reporting form.

Reported fly tipping would normally be cleared within 1 working day.
