Fly tipping is an anti-social and potentially dangerous problem which costs thousands of pounds every year to clear away.  It is unsightly and pollutes our environment.   We treat this problem very seriously and will always investigate every case of fly-tipped waste reported to us.  If we can obtain sufficient evidence we will always pass the information on to the local authority and law enforcement officials.     Dumping household, industrial and commercial waste illegally is a serious criminal offence that carries a fine of up to £50,000. If found guilty offenders can even be sent to prison.
