Part of the strategy in tackling fly-tippers is to beware of anyone who offers a rock bottom price to dispose of your bulky waste or rubbish.

Given the high cost of landfill and disposal charges, if it seems very cheap, then don’t be surprised to see the items reappearing in a country lane or field. Moreover, if fly-tipped material is traced back to its owner they will be held responsible and subject to a hefty fine, even if they had no idea it was going to be fly-tipped.

It is important that anyone offering to dispose of your waste is a licensed waste carrier. This can easily be checked on-line at https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/view/search-waste-carriers-brokers
