Flytipping is the name given to waste, which is dumped illegally in places like country lanes, waste ground and even alongside other people's houses.  The council treats this problem very seriously and will prosecute anyone caught flytipping waste.

Flytipping is a serious criminal offence, which can carry a fine of up to £20,000, or more in Crown Court, or even a prison sentence.  However, it is also an offence to permit flytipping.

Flytipping is often associated with dumping waste from vehicles, which means that it is possible to prosecute when only the vehicle is identifiable.  The Police also have the powers to seize vehicles used for flytipping.

To help reduce flytipping, the council provides a special refuse collection for bulky items, which is chargeable.  Click here for more information about special collections
