Have you been dumped?

Over the last three months we have been running an advertising campaign called 'Have you been dumped? to make sure everyone understands how important it is that their rubbish is disposed of correctly.

The advert has appeared at petrol stations, on buses, on social media, on the radio and more. Now we want to know if you saw the campaign and what you thought of it. Please take a couple of minutes to fill in our survey, your feedback is very important to us. If you would like a paper copy please get in touch.

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.
