Cabinet member for environment and community safety, councillor Freddie Bailey, said: \u201cEvery year, thousands of people are fly tipping indirectly, unaware they are doing anything wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your waste is found dumped, you could be held responsible for the crime. Fly-tipping spoils the environment and the cost is ultimately at the local taxpayers\u2019 expense.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year littering and graffiti costs taxpayers nearly \u00a32 million pounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo ensure safe waste disposal seek a waste transfer note to ensure you are not liable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you find someone through social media, an advert, or you hire someone cold calling, be sure to ask for their waste carrier\u2019s licence and check they are a registered waste carrier on the Environment Agency website.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you see a fly tipping in action to call 999 and report the crime in progress, if you discover fly-tipping you can report it to the city council via their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
