What is flytipping?

Flytipped waste generally consists of items of rubbish that are dumped illegally instead of being disposed of properly.

The most common types of flytipped waste are:

  • Household waste
  • Large domestic items such as fridges and mattresses
  • Garden waste
  • Commercial waste such as builders rubble and tyres

Why is flytipping a problem?

  • It is expensive to remove – and clearing it up costs taxpayers and the council thousands of pounds each year.
  • Unsightly – flytipping is a sign of a neglected neighbourhood and is associated with increased levels of crime and the fear of crime.  It also discourages investment and new businesses from moving into the area.
