Fly-Tipping Strategy

The quality of life in urban and rural areas is being lowered by the

illegal disposal of waste, including fly tipping. This anti social behaviour

is adversely affecting the amenity of our local environments and

reducing civic pride. Too often, people come across unsightly, illegal

dumps that have appeared in their street, in their community and on

their land. At its worst, fly tipping can lead to serious pollution of the

environment and harm to human health. It can cost innocent victims of

fly tipping and public bodies such as local authorities and the

Environment Agency, large amounts of money to remove the waste.

Fly tipping can also undermine legitimate waste management
