Fly-tipping in Garage Compounds

Our Environmental Services department is responsible for removing fly tips from council owned land. Once reported, fly tips are usually cleared within 7 days.

The fly-tipping of controlled waste is a serious criminal offence which carries a fine of up to £50,000 and/or five years imprisonment.

If the case is very serious and goes to Crown Court, an unlimited fine may be imposed, and the prison term goes up to five years.

Allowing fly-tipping is also an offence. Before you arrange for someone to collect or dispose of your waste, ask them for their waste carrier registration number. You can check their details on the Environment Agency’s public register to make sure they are registered to carry waste.
