Fly tipping removal

In most cases, the landowner is responsible for removing illegally dumped waste from private land, even if they were not responsible for the dumping. Local authorities are typically responsible for public land and adopted highways. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, waste must be removed and disposed of lawfully using licensed carriers.
