Fly-tipping

Help us catch fly-tippers

If you witness fly-tipping and are willing to provide a formal witness statement, catch an incident on CCTV or have information about fly-tipping contact us.

Note: if the waste is in the road, blocking flowing traffic call Surrey County Councils emergency number on 0300 200 1003 (including out of hours) and they will respond and make the road safe

Follow our advice

  • do not confront suspects
  • provide detailed location of the incident  (address or local landmarks) and description/photos of the rubbish
  • provide vehicle details - make, model, colour, registration and any features or signs on the vehicle (if you are able to get a photo without putting yourself at risk this will help)
  • evidence must be neutral to help us secure a conviction so please do not post evidence (such as an address) on social media
  • Runnymede Borough Council Officers will attend and investigate waste that is not causing an obstruction to the road
  • leave the waste in the location it was found

Report fly-tipping

Fly-tipping is the illegal deposit of waste on land without permission. It is harmful to the environment and costs the taxpayers thousands of pounds each year to clear up. If you see any dumped waste tell us as soon as possible
