Fly tipping and enforcement

Find out how to report a fly tip you see, how to report someone you have seen fly tipping and how to avoid fly tipping.

Report fly tipping

If you discover a fly tip, please report this to us immediately. Do not touch the waste and don’t put yourself at risk.

When reporting, please have as much of the following ready:

  • the day, date and time you saw the incident 

  • exact location

  • what you saw

  • how many people were fly tipping

  • what they looked like

  • what did they fly tip (look at the waste and try to determine what the waste could be)

  • how much has been dumped

  • any vehicles involved (make, colour and registration number)

Please don't disturb the site, as there may be evidence that could help identify the offenders and lead to their prosecution.
