Tackling fly-tips

Fly-tipping is a common problem amongst the wider community.

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of household or trade waste. It can vary in size, from as little as a single bag of rubbish, to domestic items such as furniture and fridges and has a real impact on your community.

What to do if you discover a fly-tip:

• If the offence is being committed at the time of the call, please contact your local police team by dialling 101.
• We would advise you not to touch fly-tipped waste, as it may be dangerous.
• Your council will treat this as a serious offence and will prosecute anyone caught fly-tipping waste.
• You can also use myHavebury to report fly-tipping in the area. Once you are signed into the app you will see the “tell us something” icon.
• When reporting a fly-tip you will see a map, which you can use to select the location of where the fly-tip is located.
• Next, you can tell us the nature of the fly-tip (and if you know who has caused this issue). You also have the option of adding a photo to your report.

You can also report a fly tip to myarea@havebury.com or give the Neighbourhood and Estates team a call on 0300 3300 900 and enter extension number 7333 when prompted.
