Report fly-tipping

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste.

We do not clear fly-tipping from private land, this is the landowner’s responsibility. However, we ask you to report fly-tipping incidents on private land so that we can investigate who is responsible.

Report fly-tipping
  • Call 01992 564000

What we need to know

  • The date, time and place
  • The type and size of the fly-tip
  • A description of the person
  • The registration and description of the vehicle

If you see someone fly-tipping

  • Do not approach them – they may react badly to being challenged
  • Do not touch the waste or open containers – they may contain hazardous material
  • Report it – call Essex Police if the offenders are still on site. After the event you can report the fly-tipping to us and we will investigate to find out who is responsible
