- Introduction
-
Fly-tipped waste generally consists of items of rubbish such as fridges, mattresses, builders' rubble and tyres that are dumped illegally from a vehicle instead of being disposed of properly. Fly-tipping is expensive to remove and unsightly. Customers can report this to us and we'll investigate to identify the individual responsible and prevent it happening again. Fly-tipping is a criminal offence for which you can be prosecuted.
