Accumulations of rubbish

Do you know what you need to do to stay safe?

The council will investigate reports of refuse accumulations on private land. Where necessary we will take steps to ensure the rubbish is removed.

If the accumulation is causing a nuisance and the person responsible fails to take steps to remove it, a legal notice may be served to ensure the problem is resolved.

To report any refuse accumulations on private land please call the council’s Environment Contact Centre on 01642 726001.
