Flytipping removal
To report flytipped waste, you will need to provide the following information to Ealing Customer Services:
- exact location
- description of items
- the approximate size of waste (more or less than three cubic meteres - half a standard sized skip)
Residents are advised not to touch flytipped waste, as it may be
dangerous. The council treats flytipping as a serious offence and
will prosecute anyone caught flytipping waste.
Flytipping on private land
Flytipping on private land (eg on the front/rear garden or land
attached to a property) is the responsibility of the owner/occupier
and must be removed by them. The council will only take formal
action against the owner/occupier if the flytipped site does not
comply with environmental standards or is deemed a health
hazard. This would be determined by a site visit.
Owners may be served with a formal notice requiring them to
remove refuse within 21 days. If they do not comply the council
will remove the refuse and the owner will be charged.
Collection of bulky items (special
collections)
Residents can request the removal of bulky items. There
is a charge for this service.
