Report rubbish that's been dumped on the road, pavement or public land.
On roads, pavements and council owned land
Give us as much detail as possible, for example:
- the location
- details of what's been dumped
If you saw the rubbish being dumped, tell us:
- what the person looked like
- the vehicle registration, make and model and what it looked like
We aim to clear flytipping within two working days from:
- council owned land, except in parks and play areas
- public highways
- public footpaths
It may take longer if lifting equipment is required.
Hazardous or dangerous items will be removed as soon as possible.
In parks or open spaces, and play areas
On private land
If the fly-tip is on private land it's the duty of the land owner to clear the waste and so may take longer.
If you saw the rubbish being dumped, tell us:
- what the person looked like
- the vehicle registration, make and model and what it looked like
