Fly-tipping

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the merits of introducing a single national reporting route for instances of fly-tipping.

Answer

Individuals can already report illegal waste activity anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online. Local authorities are often best placed to tackle local issues such as fly-tipping, and so any single national reporting route would need to pass reports on to the relevant local authority. Incidents can already be reported to the relevant local authority online. Individuals can get help on identifying the relevant local authority webpage at GOV.UK.
