Working in partnership for the people of Herefordshire
Other agencies and initiatives combatting fly tipping
Joint Working with the Environment Agency
The council and the Environment Agency have developed a joint working arrangement (a Fly Tipping Protocol and memorandum of understanding) which forms the basis for coordinated action on fly tipping throughout the county.
Although Herefordshire Council tends to deal with the majority of fly tipping cases, the Environment Agency will take the lead on larger cases, including those where organised crime is involved or there are particularly hazardous wastes requiring disposal.

Defra, the Government's Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, is committed to dealing with improving local environmental quality and tackling waste crime, such as fly tipping.
