Your rubbish is your responsibility. We all have a duty of care to dispose of our rubbish lawfully. If you ask someone to take your rubbish away and it's found fly-tipped, you could get a criminal record and an unlimited fine if you didn't check the waste carrier you used was licensed!

When using someone else to dispose of your rubbish ALWAYS check they’re licensed and get a receipt and keep it.

Fly-tipped rubbish is damaging to:

  • Us
  • the Environment
  • Wildlife
  • Public funds

Making sure you do the right thing with your rubbish protects the environment for everyone and means there is more money for other public services.

This video by the Environment Agency explains more about how you can avoid your rubbish being fly-tipped.


Your rubbish is your responsibility, so do the right thing.
