Fly tipping

Report fly tipping, and find out more about it, including what you must do to dispose of your waste legally.

Report fly tipping

If you see anyone fly tipping, or spot fly tipped rubbish, please report flytipping online. If this is blocking a road or in a dangerous place, contact the police on 999 or 101.

Information we need

We need to know where the fly tipping has taken place. If you witness the fly tipping (and it is safe to do so), take a note of:

  • the vehicle make, model, colour and registration number
  • what was dumped
  • a description of the flytippers.

Do not look for clues in the waste yourself, as there may be harmful items in it. 

Photos

If you have any photos, please send these with your report. Photos of the rubbish being dumped, for example from a CCTV camera outside your home or business, can help us identify the people responsible.

Photos of the rubbish which has been dumped are also helpful, so we know how much of it there is. These can be added when you report it online.
