Fly tipping

Dumping unwanted items is against the law and harms our communities. We spend a lot of time and money clearing up dumped rubbish, which we could be spending on making real improvements instead.

We have recently boosted enforcement activity in the borough. Areas are regularly patrolled, and specialist investigators are working on our behalf.

Report it

Are you reporting a fly tip for removal, or reporting information to help catch a fly tipper?

Report dumped rubbish on public land to us so we can clear it up. 

If you are trying to report information to help us catch a fly tipper, please press 'Help us catch them' above.

Report fly tipping for removal here.

We are unable to remove waste from private land.

Report any information about a fly tip directly to our fly tipping investigators at Worcestershire Regulatory Services. The team will ask you the right questions.

Never touch a fly tip or disturb the area.

Contact Worcestershire Regulatory Services here.

Tips and advice

An estimated two thirds of fly tipped waste comes from household work. Could your tradesperson be a secret fly tipper?

If someone takes your waste away and dumps it, YOU could be the one facing enforcement action, unless:

  • You used a registered waste carrier (ask for their waste carrier number and check they are registered) and
  • You have a proper receipt for your waste from them.

Legitimate businesses will always be happy to tell you their waste carrier number and provide a proper receipt.

Doing this helps protects yourself and your community from the illegal dumping of waste.

We all have a legal duty of care to ensure our waste is disposed of correctly. Following this advice can help you prove that you did your duty, and that it wasn’t your fault.

From a few black bags of waste to large furniture, our easy, safe, lawful, local Bulky Waste collection service starts from under £12.

Enquire about our Bulky Waste collections.

Households can use local tips for FREE.

For your garden waste, have you considered Worcestershire’s home composting offers or our convenient local Garden Waste collection service?

Could your unwanted items find a new home?

If they could be re-used please consider seeing if a local recycling charity such as NewStarts is accepting donations.
