Service Report accumulations and rubbish
We can provide advice and information on complaints of rubbish accumulations which have been dumped on land. Following an investigation, we may take action against the occupier or owner of the land to get the rubbish removed.
If the issue is associated with gardens, such as where piles of rubbish are affecting other properties and preventing neighbours from enjoying the use of their garden, we may use our statutory nuisance powers to resolve the problem.
Report it to us here and please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any other advice or information.
We do not consider anonymous complaints unless there are exceptional circumstances.
