16th February 2024 - Press Release - The PPP Needs Help Identifying Source of Dumped Roofing and Demolition Materials

On Thursday 15th February 2024 Officers received reports of dumped waste consisting of roofing material including piping and guttering and a sealing paint. From the materials that have been dumped it also appears as if someone has had an outhouse demolished.

 

Have you had these removed from your premise by a waste carrier or someone who said they could clear your waste? Do you have any information to support the investigation?

 

If so please get in touch via environmental.health@bracknell-forest.gov.uk or telephone 01635 503 242 quoting reference number SR109627.

 

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.

 

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:

Public Protection Partnership wants your help in stamping out fly tipping in our urban areas and surrounding beautiful countryside. You can help us by following these tips below:

  • Always check someone offering to take your waste away is registered (see link above)
  • Get into the habit of asking tradespeople for their waste carriers licence too
  • Question why someone might be offering to take away your waste much cheaper than other quotes you’ve had
  • Double check the licence details they’ve given you are valid and match who they say they are (see link above)
  • If you’re a tradesperson, or a waste carrier, make it a point to tell customers you’re registered and show customers your licence details

 

If you suspect someone is operating without a waste carriers licence you can contact via the form below.
