Fly tipping

Fly tipping is illegal, a burden to landowners and seriously affects enjoyment of the countryside. As well as larger items, garden refuse dumped over back fences is also a common problem on rights of way.

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, it is the responsibility of the local District or Borough Council to remove rubbish from all rights of way. Please contact the environmental health department of your local district authority to report problems of this nature.
