Fly-Tipping

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of rubbish and can:

Be any refuse bag, bulky or loose material that has been dumped.
Come from a number of sources including domestic rubbish bags, small trade businesses and large professional fly-tippers.
Can include furniture, building rubble, carpeting, hazardous waste, fridges and freezers.

If you notice someone fly-tipping please do no approach the offender(s) and do not go through any bags or items as it has been known for some bags to contain hypodermic needles, glass and other sharp objects.
