Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste and is a criminal offence in the UK. Not only does fly tipping create unwelcome attention in local communities, but it also introduces a range of problems for both the environment and those responsible for the land.
Common fly tipped waste includes:
Fly tipping can have significant consequences, including:
Environmental Degradation
Dumped waste can pollute soil, waterways, and ecosystems. Hazardous materials like asbestos, fuel, and paint tins can leak into the environment, causing long-term damage to local ecosystems.
Costly Cleanups
Landowners and local councils are typically responsible for clearing fly tipped waste from their property, leading to unexpected costs that can filter down to the general public through council tax.
Obstructions
Waste dumped on roads, gateways, and pathways can obstruct access for businesses, farms, and emergency services, creating further disruption.
Health Hazards
Illegally dumped waste often contains sharp objects, chemicals, and biological materials, posing risks to the general public, road users, and local wildlife.

Preventing fly tipping is essential in reducing its impact on local communities and the environment. Here are some key steps to help actively deter illegal waste dumping:
Install Security Systems
Use CCTV cameras and movement-activated security lights to protect vulnerable areas from fly tippers, especially if the land or building is unoccupied for periods of time. Clear signage warning of surveillance and penalties can also act as a deterrent.
Report Suspicious Activity
Report any instances of fly tipping or suspicious activity to your local council or authorities. Prompt reporting can help them to take action and make a note of commonly used locations.
Protect Your Land Or Property
Regularly maintain and secure land and gateways to make it harder for fly tippers to access your property. Blocking unused access points with fencing or barriers can discourage illegal dumping.
Educate Your Local Community
Raise awareness about the impact of fly tipping and encourage responsible waste disposal in your community. Promoting local recycling centres and licensed waste removal services can help reduce illegal dumping or alert residents to keep an eye out for those who do.
If you find that fly tipping has been left on or near your property, it can be stressful, but with Morley Skips, you can rest assured that your land will be cleared quickly, and above all, legally.
