Fly Tipping
Fly-tipping is described as 'the illegal deposit of any waste
onto land, i.e. waste dumped or tipped on a site with no license to
accept waste.' It can be hazardous to the public and animals and it
costs you as a taxpayer to clear it up.
Fly-tipped waste normally consists of large items such as
general household waste, larger domestic items including fridges
and mattresses, garden refuse, commercial builder's rubble, tyres
but can also contain clinical waste such as syringes or hazardous
waste.
If you spot any fly tipped waste or see anyone fly-tipping
please report it, the rubbish can then be removed and with your
help the crime can be investigated and the culprits prosecuted.
Bromsgrove Council have recently launched a campaign to prevent
Fly Tipping in the district. No Tipping 
signs have been erected at known fly tipping hotspots across
the district warning of fines of up to £50,000. We are encouraging
residents to report fly tipping.
If you are aware of repeated fly tipping incidents in your area,
it would be helpful to take photo footage or video footage of the
incident. Such evidence is vital when trying to prosecute
individuals for fly tipping.
Householders now have a duty of care to ensure that waste is
passed to a registered waste carrier. If you wanted to make sure
that you were passing your waste on to a registered waste carrier
please visit the environment agency
link and view the public register to see those businesses who are
registered waste carriers.
There is a guide to tackling fly tipping
for landowners which can be accessed through the link

future.
