The local neighbourhood policing team has advised of an increase in fly tipping by unauthorised traders who are carrying out gardening work and then fly tipping the garden waste.
If you are using a trader to take away your garden waste or bulky items please ensure that they are authorised to carry waste by asking to see their carrier’s authorisation.
You can check traders online https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/view/index or by telephoning the Environment Agency on 03708 506506.
