I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Fly tipping, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. If you are witnessing a Fly Tipping event in your area, please ring 999 in an emergency or ring 101 - calls to 101 are generally answered within a minute.
To report a fly tip which has already happened on Council land, please report via Watford Borough Council website at
https://www.watford.gov.uk/clean-streets/dumped-rubbish-flytipping/2
Hertfordshire County Council is responsible for clearing fly-tipped rubbish that is blocking highways in Watford. Rubbish causing an obstruction is removed within 24 hours of it being reported. To report fly-tipping on a road or highway, call Hertfordshire County Council at 0300 1234 047.
 Here are five reasons why we should not litter: - Impact on Wildlife: Litter can harm animals by trapping or poisoning them, and it can also kill aquatic life through choking and water quality degradation.
- Costs of Cleaning Up: Littering incurs significant cleanup costs, which can burden local governments and taxpayers.
- Human Health and Safety: Litter can pose health risks, creating hazards in public spaces and potentially leading to injuries.
- Environmental Contamination: Litter can contaminate soil and water, leading to long-term environmental damage.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Litter detracts from the beauty of our surroundings, affecting community pride and tourism.
By reducing littering, we can protect wildlife, save money, enhance public health, and preserve our environment.
