Litter problems

We deal with a number of refuse problems including:

• rubbish that has been put out for collection too early
• fly tipping which generally occurs on rear lanes and alleyways
• accumulations on private property (we will respond but the landowner will be required to have it cleared and the property made secure)
• trade waste problems (overflowing bins, accumulations of rubbish)

The Environment Agency is also involved in flytipping and the illegal use of land for the storage or disposal of waste.
