Please don't fly tip
The closure of recycling centres during lockdown has led to a national increase in reports of fly tipping. Sadly, this environmental vandalism puts a major financial burden on society and has serious public health consequences.
Please don't fly tip or use cold callers/unlicensed traders to take your waste away. If you need help and advice with your household waste, we recommend that you contact a business that is a member of our Buy With Confidence scheme.

To report fly tipping, contact your local district council.
