Fly Tipping Removal in Thatcham

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste on land without the owner's consent. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, private landowners in Thatcham — homeowners, farmers, and businesses — are responsible for clearing fly-tipped waste from their own land even if they did not cause it. West Berkshire Council clears fly-tipping on public land; private land is the owner's legal responsibility.

Yes. We cover all RG18 and RG19 postcodes including rural access lanes in Cold Ash, Ashmore Green, Headley, and the Kennet Valley corridor between Thatcham and Newbury. Rural fly-tipping often involves heavier loads and difficult access, which our vehicles and equipment are suited to handle.

We aim to attend the same day for most Thatcham fly-tipping clearances — typically within 4 hours of booking. For urgent cases (active tipping site, safety risk, or council enforcement notice), call 07929 771954 directly for priority dispatch.

Fly-tipping clearances in Thatcham start from around £150 for a small mixed load (a few bags and a single bulky item) and from £275 for a full van load. Send us photos via the online form at wastewize.co.uk/contact and we quote within the hour — price includes all removal, disposal, pre-removal photography, and a Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note.

Yes. WasteWize holds EA Waste Carrier Licence CBDU335711, legally required to remove fly-tipped and controlled waste from private land. We issue a Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note on every clearance — suitable as evidence for West Berkshire Council reporting and for insurance claims.

We remove all common fly-tipped materials: furniture and mattresses, builder's rubble and construction waste, mixed rubbish bags, garden waste, white goods, tyres, and electrical items. For hazardous materials such as asbestos or clinical waste, we assess the load before quoting and arrange specialist disposal where required — we advise you in advance if this applies.

West Berkshire Council can issue a Fixed Penalty Notice of up to £400 to private landowners who fail to clear fly-tipped waste from their land, and may prosecute under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 which carries an unlimited fine. The perpetrators may also return if the site is not cleared promptly. WasteWize provides same-day removal with a full paper trail protecting you from enforcement action.

Call 07929 771954 or send photos via the online form at wastewize.co.uk/contact with your RG18 or RG19 postcode. We confirm attendance time within the hour. You can simultaneously report the fly-tipping to West Berkshire Council — our pre-removal photographs make that report straightforward to file.
