Fly tipping

Fly tipping

Good afternoon,

Fly tipping has been highlighted as a local issue, please see the below update on how to report fly-tipping.

If You Witness Fly-Tipping in Progress

Call 999 immediately – this is considered a criminal offence in action.

To Report Fly-Tipping After It Has Happened

You should report fly-tipping to your local district or borough council. Each council is responsible for clearing waste from public land in its area. Kent County Council Guidance: Report fly-tipping – Kent.gov.uk [kent.gov.uk]

Information You’ll Need to Provide

Exact location of the waste (include landmarks if possible)

Type of waste dumped

Date you noticed it

Your name and postcode

Email address

Photographs (optional but helpful) What Happens

If the fly-tipping is on public land, the council will aim to clear it within 10 working days.

If it’s on private land, it’s the landowner’s responsibility to remove it. You can still report it, and the council may investigate if evidence is found.

Fly-Tipping on Roads or Highways

If it’s out of hours and poses a risk to safety, call Highways Emergencies on 03000 41 91 91.

Kind regards
