Just saw someone fly tipping. WIBU to report to council? How?

[GoodyGoodyGumdrops]

I got a photo of the car as they pulled away. They dumped a load of heavy orange netting on the pavement - in exactly the location where lots of stuff gets dumped.

Some councils have ways for you to report it. I know my old council has a map showing where fly tipping has been reported and some have pictures.

I’d report them because things like this really piss me off. It’s so lazy and anti social

Sorry I should say, the map was on their website. If you go to he Council website they should have a bit about how to report fly tipping

Definitely report it, if nothing else then at least it will get cleaned up,

Yes report it - ring council and tell them you have a photo of the vehicle pulling away from the location

If you google 'report it' and your council name then you should get the right place to contact & report it.

The only way to stop these things is to not sit back and let them happen.

Please do report them. We have a number of beauty spots round here that people use for fly tipping and it really annoys me.

It is unsightly
It is dangerous to wildlife
They are too lazy/tight to take it to the tip and deserve to be fined ££££

Done.

Well done.

I'm living up to my name

But ooooo it does make me cross!

For future reference, there is also 'Fix My Street' which allows you to put photos on there so that others can see them, and also sends a report to the council.

YNBU. The switchboard will usually take you through to the number you need.

Oi. It's late/early friday night here and given the Wine I thought you said 'Cow tipping'

Super relieved to find no cows were harmed

(-snort! Too early for here) What is cow tipping?

Cow tipping is the purported activity of sneaking up on any unsuspecting or sleeping upright cow and pushing it over for entertainment.

^^ straight copy and past from google.

I do not agree nor partake in Cow tipping. It's not nice to cows

cheers, I'll have one [or more] for you 🍷🍷🍷

Well done OP!

I've previously reported someone to the police for weeing in my neighbours yard, onto their door, in full view of the street, in the middle of a Saturday, with children walking past. I took a picture of him (mid stream) and his van. He wasn't happy, but it's the only way they'll learn.

Yes, Well Done OP. I salute you 🍷🍷🍷

Have another, Don't mind if I do.

Seriously Tho You Did Good

Also my local council definitely prosecutes fly tippers, and publishes their details in the Name-and-Shame section of the local paper. They have a hotline for ratting them in.
