What is fly-tipping?
Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. In simple terms, it can vary from a single bag of waste upwards to thousands of tonnes of construction and demolition waste.
It can pose a significant threat to people, wildlife, the environment and the local economy. It also undermines legitimate waste businesses where unscrupulous operators undercut those operating within the law.
Fly-tipping involves dumping large quantities of waste or bigger items, while littering is described as dropping smaller items such as wrappers, cans and cigarette butts.
Additionally, it costs the Council tens of thousands of pounds to clear up every year. They actively investigate instances of fly-tipping to find evidence of who dumped the waste and who it originally belonged to and then take legal action.
