Fly-tipping isn’t just ugly — it’s costly 💸

It costs the UK over £100m a year — money that could go to 🏫 schools, 🌳 parks & 📚 libraries

Say NO to rogue operators

Say YES to cleaner communities

Having a pre-Christmas clear out? Don’t get caught out by a #RubbishDeal

If you hand your rubbish over to an unlicensed waste carrier – and they dump it illegally – YOU could be held responsible.

Protect yourself and your community. Say no to a rubbish deal.
