|
|
number of flytipping incidences, the Council provides a <strong>

refuse collection for large items</a>

</strong> <span class="gen">link to pid 528</span>

|
</p><p>The flytipping of controlled
|
|
waste is a serious criminal offence which carries a fine of up to £20,000
|
|
(unlimited if indicted to the Crown Court) or an offender can even be sent to
|
|
prison. It is important to realise that it is also an offence to permit flytipping.</p><p>Flytipping is often associated
|
|
with dumping waste from vehicles. In this case the person controlling the use
|
|
of the vehicle can also be prosecuted, which means that it is possible for a
|
|
prosecution to occur when only the vehicle, not the driver, is identifiable.</p><p>The Police also have the
|
|
powers to seize vehicles used for flytipping.</p><h2>If you discover flytipped
|
|
waste after the tippers have left, please follow these simple Do's
|
|
and Dont's:</h2><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">
|
|
<strong>Do not touch the waste</strong>: flytipped waste can be dangerous - it may contain syringes,
|
|
broken glass, asbestos, toxic chemicals or other hazardous substances.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">
|
|
<strong>Visually inspect the waste</strong>: try to determine what the waste consists of and how much
|
|
there is.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">
|
|
<strong>Take note of its exact location</strong>: and also, whether it is in or near water.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">
|
|
<strong>Do not disturb the site</strong>: there may be evidence that could help identify the culprits and
|
|
lead to their prosecution.</li>
|
|
</ul><h2>If You See Someone Flytipping: </h2><p>If possible, please make
|
|
a note of:</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">The
|
|
day, date and time you saw the tipping. </li>
|
|
</ul><p> What you saw:</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">How
|
|
many people were flytipping and what they looked like</li>
|
|
<li title="*">What
|
|
they were actually doing</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Any
|
|
vehicles involved - their make, colour and registration number</li>
|
|
</ul><p> Where were you when you
|
|
saw the flytipping:</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">What
|
|
kind of view you had</li>
|
|
<li title="*">How
|
|
far away you were</li>

and light conditions</li>
