Another outbreak of fly-tipping on Wyke Cop.

Fly tipping is an unsightly and dangerous problem and costs council tax payers money to clear away.

We treat this problem very seriously and will usually prosecute anyone caught fly tipping waste in the borough. Dumping household, industrial and commercial waste illegally is a serious criminal offence that carries a fine of up to £50,000, offenders can even be sent to prison.

Reporting fly tipping
If you see someone illegally dumping rubbish or want to report fly tipped waste, you can contact us:

Click: Fly tipping online form
Call: 01695 577177
What to do:

don't touch the waste or disturb the site
get as much information as possible
make a note of what the waste consists of and whether or not it is dangerous
also make a note of when and where you have seen it
If you saw who tipped the rubbish, let us know:

how many people were involved and what they looked like
details of any vehicles involved including make, colour and registration number if possible

All of this could have been taken to the tip not too far away.

This will have been collected, for a fee, by the mobile crime wave we are obliged to call the 'Travelling Community' and - because vans are not permitted on the tip without a permit - it gets dumped thus.
