Enforcement activity

Greener Ealing Ltd, our rubbish and recycling contractor, works hard to collect as many fly-tips as possible, as quickly as it can. Currently, 98% of reported fly-tips are collected within 2 working days.

To identify fly-tippers and issue fines, Greener Ealing use evidence found in the dumped waste itself, CCTV footage, and reports from witnesses.

We issued 275 fines in June

Total fines since January 2025: 1,329

Penalties and fines for fly-tippers

Fly-tipping is a criminal offence.

We will fine or prosecute people who dump rubbish in the street. It carries a maximum penalty of an unlimited fine or up to 5 years in prison.

We can issue fixed penalty notices (FPN) of £1,000.

It is also an offence to allow fly-tipping on your land or land that you rent.
