Fly Tipping is a new epidemic facing businesses, councils & landowners. Increased costs at tips have led to a rapid increase in the amount of fly tipping seen across the UK. In this blog from Morley Skips, we provide information on the best way to remove fly tipped waste.
Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste on both public and private land. Defra recently reported that fly-tipping is on the rise in England. This can cause issues for local authorities, landowners, the public, road users and the environment. Morley Skips offers a rapid, reliable service to domestic and commercial customers who have been victims of illegal fly tipping.

Removing Hazardous Fly Tipped Waste
A lot of fly tipping situations include the dumping of hazardous waste – hence the need for professional intervention. Hazardous waste should only be removed by certified professionals. It cannot be placed in normal skips, skip bags or RORO containers. Hazardous waste includes:
- Contaminated soil & waste
If there is fly tipped waste on your premises that you believe may be considered hazardous, don’t hesitate to reach out for our team of experts. The Morley Skips team will organise the collection and ensure that hazardous waste is disposed of correctly and legally.
