Report fly-tipping to your council
Fly-tipping, from a single dumped mattress to a pile of builders waste, is illegal and your council can clear it and investigate. Photograph it with StreetReport and we send the report, with the precise location, to the council that handles the area.

Overflowing or dumped commercial waste
Fly-tipping on public land is dealt with by the district, borough or unitary council, who clear it and can pursue offenders. StreetReport routes your report to the correct council automatically from the photo location. Do not touch or move the waste, as it may be needed as evidence.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I report fly-tipping?
Open StreetReport, photograph the dumped waste from a safe distance, confirm the detected location, and submit. The report reaches the council responsible for clearing it, with the exact coordinates.
Should I touch or search the rubbish?
No. Fly-tipped waste can be hazardous and may be needed as evidence. Take a photo from a safe distance and let the council investigate. Your StreetReport photo and location give them what they need to act.
Who clears fly-tipping?
Fly-tipping on public land is the responsibility of the local council. Waste on private land is usually the landowner. StreetReport sends your report to the right council for public-land cases and keeps you posted as they respond.
Is fly-tipping a crime?
Yes. Fly-tipping is a criminal offence and councils can issue fines or prosecute. Reporting it quickly, with a clear photo and location, helps them clear the site and pursue offenders.
