Flytipping

Flytipping means illegally dumping waste somewhere other than an authorized area like a recycling centre.

The local authority has responsibility for acting on reports of flytipping to both remove the waste and to locate and prosecute the offenders. Where the waste is hazardous the council has a responsibility to ensure public safety until such time as the waste can be removed.
