Independent charity Crimestoppers can take information on serious and organised waste crime .

Waste crime takes many different forms, including large scale dumping, illegal waste sites, illegal burning of waste, mis-description of waste to avoid fees and landfill taxes, and illegal export of waste. Much waste crime is carried out by gangs and individuals who operate bogus waste services, accepting payment for disposal without having the necessary permits for transportation or storage. If you have information about this and do not want to report to your local authority, you can report 100% anonymously to www.crimestoppers-uk.org or on free phone 0800 555111.

For smaller scale problems with littering, street litter bins, or small scale, one-off fly tipping on public land, continue to Report it to your local authority.

All enforcement agencies are working together to target environmental crime, so if you see it, report it. Together we can stop it.
