Council Enforcement Officers divide their time between advising residents and businesses to manage their waste and investigating incidents of flytipping.

Flytipping ranges from a single bag of rubbish, a van load of building rubble/garden waste, to the growing trend of truckloads of waste being tipped.

Fly-tipping, whatever it's size is illegal!
