Fly tipping

Fly tipping is the illegal deposit of any waste onto land.

It generally consists of large items of rubbish, furniture, garden waste, rubble, tyres and fridges that are dumped illegally on land instead of being properly disposed of at the civic amenity site or a licensed waste disposal site.

Small items dropped by members of the public on Council or private land (such as crisp packets in the street) is litter rather than fly tipping.
