What to do about fly-tipped waste
If you discover fly-tipped waste
Do not:
-
touch the waste - it may contain syringes, broken glass, asbestos, toxic chemicals or other hazardous substances
-
disturb the site; there may be evidence that could help identify the fly-tippers and lead to their prosecution
Do:
-
visually try to work out what the waste consists of and how much there is
-
make a note of the day, date and time you saw the tipping, its exact location and whether it is in or near water
If you see someone fly-tipping make a note of:
-
how many people are involved and what they look like
-
what has been tipped - how much and what it looks like
-
details of any vehicles involved including make, colour and registration number if possible
