Fly tipping is a serious offense in the UK, and it is illegal to dump waste on land that is not licensed as a waste disposal site. The fines for using waste collectors who then fly tip the rubbish can vary depending on the severity of the offense and the discretion of the judge, but they can be significant.
Fines
If you knowingly use an unlicensed waste carrier who then fly tips your waste, you could be fined up to £5,000. If you are found to have failed in your duty of care to ensure your waste was properly disposed of, you could face a fine of up to £20,000.
If the fly-tipping involves hazardous waste or is done on a large scale, the penalties can be much higher. Offenders can be prosecuted and face unlimited fines and even imprisonment.
It is important to use a reputable waste collection company that is properly licensed and insured to avoid any legal issues and ensure that your waste is disposed of correctly.
