Report fly tipping

Fly tipping is the illegal deposit of any waste onto land ie waste dumped or tipped in a place with no licence to accept it.

You can report fly tipping to us using this form.

Any of the following information you can supply would be helpful:  

  • where the fly-tip is located
  • photos of the location and/or what has been tipped
  • a description of the person(s) fly tipping
  • the date and time the fly tipping was seen, including the time the offence started and finished
  • details of any other witnesses with you
  • a description (make, colour, markings) and registration number of any vehicle involved

If the waste appears to be of a hazardous nature, or is in or near a watercourse, please contact the Environment Agency.

Please note: Due to high levels of reports as well as staff shortages, we are currently experiencing an 8 week delay in responding to fly tipping reports. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
