Litter and street cleaning
Fly-tipping
If you find any dumped waste
Please let us know and we will arrange to clean it up and try to identify who is responsible.
Fly-tipping spoils the environment and takes time and money to clean up - money that could be spent on other services.
Dumping waste is a serious offence, and anyone caught can be prosecuted.
The fixed penalty notice for fly tipping is £500.
Numbers of fly-tipping events
We do not record the type of waste that we pick up from fly-tipped materials, but we do count the number of fly-tipping events that take place on Council land, and privately owned land. This data was not reported monthly until 2019.
