Fly-tipping

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. Please read the information below before reporting a fly-tip to us. If you’re looking to get a third-party contractor to remove your waste, please ensure you read the additional information linked at the bottom of the page.

 

If you discover fly-tipped waste

• Do not touch the waste - fly-tipped waste can contain dangerous items
• Visually inspect the waste – what does it consist of? How much is there?
• Take note of its exact location and whether it is in/ near water
• Do not disturb the site - there may be evidence that could help identify the culprits and lead to their prosecution
• Take photos if it is safe to do so – please send these to us at streetscene@castlepoint.gov.uk

 

If you see someone fly-tipping, please tell us

• The date and time and name of the road
• How many people were involved and what they looked like
• What they were doing and what was fly-tipped
• Any vehicles involved - their make, colour and registration number

Warning: please do not approach anyone fly-tipping.
