Report Waste on Land

The Council is able to investigate complaints of waste on land, such as;

  • A large number of black bin bags in a domestic garden.
  • Fly-tipped waste on private land (note, the landowner is responsible for the removal of any fly-tipped waste on their land)
  • Large accumulations of waste that could be considered detrimental to the amenity of the neighbourhood.

The Council is not able to investigate complaints about;

  • Overgrown gardens and/or
  • Building materials stored in domestic gardens

These are considered a civil matter between neighbours and independent legal advice should be considered.

We do not accept anonymous complaints.
