Chapter 15 — Conclusion — Stop It at the Source

Fly-tipping is expensive, dangerous and damaging.

But it is not inevitable.

Every household and business has the power to make a difference.

Before handing over your waste: check the carrier, ask where the waste is going, check the appropriate registration details, get the paperwork, keep your records, and pay traceably where possible.

And, if you want an additional safeguard, consider placing your identification letters inside the waste.

The most important thing to remember is simple: the person taking your waste matters just as much as the person producing it.

A cheap clearance is not a bargain if your waste ends up in a field.

Choose a responsible operator and you protect yourself, your neighbours, your community, the countryside and the environment.

Say no to fly-tipping. Protect your community and the environment.
