Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

I have to report a fly tipping incident. Should I refer it to the local council or to the Environment Agency?

Answer:

Both Herefordshire Council and the Environment Agency have powers to deal with fly tipping. However, we suggest that you refer all incidents to the council in the first instance as most fly tipping is routinely investigated by the council.

In accordance with our protocol, if necessary we will automatically refer large scale tipping, toxic chemical incidents and organised crime cases to the Environment Agency.

For further information see the fly tipping section.
