East Cambridgeshire District Council

Flytipping

Flytipping is not only unsightly, inconsiderate, dangerous and expensive to clean up, it is also illegal. Waste can only be deposited at licensed sites and anyone flytipping waste is not only costing us all money, as council taxpayers, but they are also committing a serious offence. Fines for flytipping can be as much as £50,000 or six months imprisonment (or both) on conviction in court.

We will investigate and remove flytipped waste from public land. Flytipping can be reported to our customer services team.

If you see an incident of fly-tipping be discrete, but try to note the following details:

The date, time and the place where the tipping is taking place, what the waste is and how much there is of it, and a description of any vehicles involved and the registration numbers.

We advise you not to approach any one you see dumping rubbish but contact the Council with the information you have and then we will liaise with the Environment Agency to consider the most appropriate course of action.

No-one needs to resort to dumping in the countryside. If you have additional household items you want to get rid of, then contact the Council on 01353 665555. The charge for this service is £20 for up to 3 items or £20 each for a fridge/freezer.
