Fly Tipping Removal
London & Home Counties
Waste dumped on your land is your legal responsibility — not the council's. WasteWize provides fast, EA-licensed fly tip clearance from private driveways, yards, alleyways, and commercial sites. We remove everything and provide Duty of Care documentation to protect you from further liability.
Important: Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, landowners are legally obliged to clear fly-tipped waste from their own land — even if they did not dump it. Councils can issue fixed penalty notices of up to £400 for failure to comply.
Who We Help
Private Landowners
Waste dumped on your driveway, alleyway, or land is your legal responsibility to clear. We handle it quickly and provide documentation.
Landlords & Letting Agents
Common in rear yards, shared areas, and vacant properties between tenancies. We clear and document — protecting you from council notices.
Businesses & Facilities Managers
Industrial yards, car parks, and loading bays are frequent targets. We provide a rapid-response clearance service with full compliance paperwork.
Housing Associations
Communal areas and estate land require fast, documented clearance. We work with housing associations across London on ongoing and one-off jobs.

We Clear in One Visit
A two-person team arrives, loads all waste, and leaves the site clean. No skips, no permits, no return visits needed.
Documentation Issued
A Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note is issued immediately after collection — your legal proof of compliant disposal. Keep it on file.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is responsible for clearing fly-tipped waste in London?
- Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, the landowner — not the person who dumped the waste — is responsible for clearing it. This applies to private individuals, landlords, businesses, housing associations, and commercial property owners. Failure to clear can result in a fixed-penalty notice or prosecution by the local authority.
- How much does fly tipping removal cost in London?
- Fly tipping removal in London typically costs between £150 for a single-load incident and £600+ for large or mixed commercial deposits. The price depends on the volume, type of waste, and access. WasteWize provides a free, fixed-price quote within 2 hours — often from photos alone. All disposal costs are included in the price.
- Can you remove fly-tipped waste from private land?
- Yes. We specialise in fly tipping clearance from private land — including driveways, alleyways, rear courtyards, industrial yards, car parks, and agricultural land. We arrive with a van and team, load everything, and provide a Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note proving legal disposal. You are not liable for the dumped waste once it has been removed with documentation.
- Do I need to report fly tipping to the council before removing it?
- You are not legally required to report it before removing it from your own land, but reporting to your local council (or via the Flycapture database) creates an evidence trail that may be useful if the offender is later identified. We recommend photographing the waste before clearance and reporting online — we can begin clearance immediately once you have your photos.
- What types of fly-tipped waste can you remove?
- We remove all common fly-tipped materials: bagged household waste, furniture, white goods, mattresses, builder's rubble, garden waste, tyres, scrap metal, electronics, and mixed commercial waste. We also remove hazardous items including asbestos-containing materials — for these, a survey and specialist disposal is arranged separately.
- How quickly can you clear a fly-tipped site in London?
- Same-week availability across London and the Home Counties. For urgent commercial or landlord situations, next-day clearance is often available. Call 07929 771954 for current availability — we prioritise fly tipping jobs where there is a health, safety, or environmental risk.
