Report dumped or fly-tipped items

Epping Forest District Council is responsible for the investigation and removal of fly-tipping from public land.

If you witness someone fly-tipping, please take note of any details such as registration numbers as this helps us to find and prosecute offenders.

We can only remove fly-tips from public land. Fly-tips on private land are the responsibility of the land owner.

• Call 01992 564000

What we need to know

• The date, time and place
• The type and size of the fly-tip
• A description of the person
• The registration and description of the vehicle

If you see someone fly-tipping

• Do not approach them – they may react badly to being challenged
• Do not touch the waste or open containers – they may contain hazardous material
• Report it – call Essex Police if the offenders are still on site. After the event you can report the fly-tipping to us and we will investigate to find out who is responsible
