How to Fly Tippers?

If someone dumps rubbish on your private property then you are responsible for clearing it, according to the National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group. It should always be reported to the local authority. Councils will not normally clear fly-tipping from your land for free but may investigate and prosecute.

Do fly tippers get prosecuted?

Fly-tipping is a serious criminal offence for which you can be prosecuted. The courts have various powers available to them to tackle fly-tipping, including imprisonment, unlimited fines and an order to deprive rights to a vehicle used to commit the offence.

How do you deal with fly tippers?

Regardless of whether land is public or private, if you find fly-tipping you should report it. There is no national single point of contact to report fly-tipping, however. You need to contact either your local authority or the Environment Agency to see if they will investigate or deal with an incident.
