Greater Manchester councils have seen 93,629 fly-tipping incidents reported between 2020 and 2022
Figures reveal that - with five boroughs seeing a decline in incidents, and five seeing an increase.
Bolton The borough, where fly-tippers are warned of a £400 fixed penalty notice or an unlimited fine, saw a reduction in fly-tipping incidents across two years. “If residents witness incidents of fly tipping, or have any information about who is doing this, we would urge them to contact us with all the details they have so that we can take action.”
“Since we launched the clean up campaign, more than 508 people have been fined for environmental crimes. The number of cases in Oldham has increased, but the large spike seen in the figures from the year 2020/21 to 2021 /22 is as a result of underreporting of fly-tipping incidents to central Government – where evidence could not be found in 20/21 these are now included in 21/22.
“We work extremely hard in educating our residents on the importance of checking for waste carriers’ licences and promoting the council’s free bulky waste collections, which has made a huge impact on the amount of potential waste that could have ended up on our streets. We continue to charge offenders by serving formal cautions and on-the-spot Fixed Penalty Notices when evidence is found, as we will not tolerate fly-tipping in our borough.
“It's heartening to see a reduction in the number of fly-tipping incidents, but there are still too many people not disposing of their rubbish in the correct way with many being duped by unscrupulous fly tippers. The council is currently leading on a ‘Spring Clean’ programme with additional organised clean up events and activities across Stockport, over March and April.
