- Dorset Council crackdown on fly-tipping
Dorset Council has announced a new initiative to crack down on fly-tipping.
As part of the initiative, residents are encouraged to report fly tipping as soon as they spot it. The council advises people to note the location, take a photo if safe to do so, and avoid touching the waste or confronting anyone involved.
Anyone hiring a trader to remove rubbish should check that the individual or business is a licensed waste carrier. https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/view/search-waste-carriers-brokers
Reports of fly tipping can be made using Dorset Council’s online form or by calling 01305 221040. Find out more at https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/scrap-flytipping
