The Council treats this problem very seriously and will prosecute anyone caught flytipping waste. The flytipping of controlled waste is a serious criminal offence which carries a fine of up to £50,000 or up to five years in prison.

Hertsmere ask that if you discover flytipped waste after the tippers have left, or of you see someone flytipping, then you follow their set of guidelines and report the matter to the council. CLICK HERE to go to the Hertsmere website for the guidelines and more details.
