Report fly-tipping

Important information

Please don't search through or remove items from the fly-tipping in case there are hidden sharp or dangerous items. This will be done by the investigating officers.

Our cleansing teams will clear fly tipped waste where it is on Council maintained highways, footpath or adjacent land. We cannot clear fly tipping that is on private land

Before you start, you will need to know: 

  • the location of the fly-tipping 
  • the type of waste that has been fly-tipped 
  • the quantity of waste fly-tipped 

Report fly-tipping

  • Next page: If you've witnessed somebody fly-tipping
