The service we provide
We have two teams dedicated to tackling fly-tipping. These work closely with Streetpride's Enviro-Crime Unit to identify the people responsible for the illegal tipping of waste. The penalties for those caught fly tipping are either:
- A fixed penalty fine of £75.
- A fine of up to £50,000 at the Magistrates Court, or an unlimited fine at the Crown Court, and/or a prison sentence of up to 5 years.
The removal of illegally tipped domestic and commercial waste costs the Council approximately £150,000 a year.
The service you can expect
Streetpride has set a challenging target. We aim to remove all fly tipping on land with public access within 1 working day of notification.

- 3,112 reports of fly tipping were received between April 2007 and March 2008.
