Last year our Rangers attended over 5,000 incidents of fly-tipping on our premises.
These incidents included fly-tipped general waste and bulky waste items dumped by residents living in our properties. This illegally-dumped waste costs money to clear and has an affect on service charges.
An increase in fly-tipping and bulky waste collections leads to an increase in service charges which is something we want to prevent. We need you to work with us, so that we can tackle fly-tipping together.
We’ve put in measures that mean together we can prevent and remove illegal waste:
- We work with your local council to make sure you have regular collections of your bins. You may have accessible bin stores or wheelie bins for your household waste.
- We support you to recycle where available, so you have more space in your bins and can do your part to help the environment. For tips on recycling click here.
- We make sure there is enough outside and inside lighting to deter fly-tipping and other forms of anti-social behaviour (ASB).
- We encourage everyone to report incidents of fly-tipping by calling our Hub on 0345 60 20 540 or dropping us a private message on Facebook or Twitter. This way we can report incidents to the police and help clear up dumped waste on our premises.
