Removing Dumped Rubbish |
|
- We will remove rubbish that is dumped on the public highway, including Parks and Open Spaces. We can remove waste from private property although we can only do this with the permission of the owner and a charge would be levied.
- The target for removing dumped rubbish is 24 hours. Where a large amount of waste has been dumped, we may need to programme the works, which may take a while longer to arrange. For example, if specialised vehicles are required for the task.
- We will take action against anyone found to be dumping rubbish. The maximum penalty for fly tipping can be up to £2500 and/or 6 months imprisonment.
- The Civic Amenity site is open to the public for the disposal of items of waste. For items that can't be removed as part of the Council's bulky waste service (garden and DIY type waste, for example) the site is an ideal solution. This state of the art facility is situated on Haverton Hill Road, Billingham and is open to the public from 8am till 6pm (between 1st November to 31st March) and from 8am till 7pm at all other times. The site cannot be used for commercial waste purposes and is only meant for the disposal of domestic waste. If you plan to visit the site in either a van or a vehicle with a trailer, an entry permit will be required.
- If you see anyone dumping rubbish you should contact us immediately and our Enforcement Officer will investigate.
Need to know more - just contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
