Top Fly capture facts:

• Someone fly-tips in England and Wales every 35 seconds
- that equates to over 70,000 incidents a month.

• The most common fly-tip is a black bag of household rubbish
at the side of a main road.

• Fly-tipping costs £100 a minute to clear up.

• Every day there are 40 incidents involving multiple lorry-loads
(being illegally dumped)

• Almost 28,000 fridges, freezers and washing machines were
fly- tipped between July and December 2004.

• In the last 6 months of 2004 local authorities alone spent
around £24 million clearing fly-tipping.

What do I do if I see an incident? If you see someone fly-tipping try to take note of:

a) When and where it is happening
b) Registration of the vehicle
c) Description the vehicle; what colour it is? Is there anything special
about it? Does it have a insignia / contact number?
d) What sort of rubbish is being dumped?

Then call your local District Council who will normally deal with it - don’t try and tackle the fly-tipper yourself.
