Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. It's an eyesore, it's harmful to the environment, it can be dangerous to anyone who comes in to contact with it and it's expensive to clean up. Those found guilty of fly-tipping can face fines and/or a prison sentence.
If you are having a clear out and require disposal of waste we’d like to remind you that it is your responsibility to make sure your waste is disposed of by a registered waste carrier. Nobody enjoys seeing our beautiful countryside blighted with fly tips. If you are having building work undertaken at home or in your commercial premise and your builder is disposing of the waste and not using a skip on site, they must have a waste carrier’s licence and they must provide you with a copy of their waste transfer notice. If they don’t and they fly tip and the waste can be shown to come from your property, you may face a very significant fine.
It’s really simple to check to see if someone offering to take away your waste is registered, just enter their details in the link below:
