Fly-tipping
Advice for landowners
Land owners are responsible for removing any fly-tipping found on private land. However, you should always report fly-tipping to us. If through our investigations we are able to identify and prosecute the fly-tippers we can apply for clean-up costs to be reimbursed.
There are a number of steps that you can take to help prevent fly-tipping on your land:
- Install gates and barriers, and improve visibility in the area
- Keep areas tidy and remove any fly-tipped waste quickly to discourage others
- Deter potential fly-tippers with signage or cameras
- Work with others including your neighbours, local businesses and any existing partnerships
