Report fly-tipping (illegal dumping)
Report fly-tipping (illegal dumping)
Report rubbish that’s been dumped on the road, pavement or public 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 fly-tipping within two working days from:
- council owned land
- public highways
- public footpaths
If the fly-tip is on private land it may take longer as it's the duty of the land owner to clear the waste.
If you want to discuss fly-tipping on private land, call 0117 922 2100.
Fines
People who fly-tip can get:
- a fine of up to £50,000
- up to five year’s imprisonment
