Flytipping problem?
Small or large, we've got you coveredFlytipping & abandoned waste
More stringent waste regulations, less licensed waste facilities and increasing disposal costs has led to a significant increase in flytipping and other illegal waste activity.
We work closely with government organisations, insurance companies, land managers, private clients and letting agents to provide specialist tailored solutions for your flytipping, illegally dumped and abandoned waste problems.

Insurance claims
In over twenty years of responding to illegal waste activity incidents there is not a lot we haven’t seen and handled – as well as our regular small fly tip jobs for local authorities and private landowners we have successfully completed larger clean ups of up to 10,000 tons.
Our experience enables us to clear industrial units and large land areas fast, so the buildings can be re-let or the land returned to its rightful use.
The impact of flytipping
Environment
Flytipping is a criminal activity with the potential to cause serious pollution, pose risks to human health and can harm farm animals and wildlife; it also spoils local neighbourhoods.
Local Authorities
Councils spend around £50 million every year to clear illegally dumped waste; money that could be better used in many areas.
Landowners
Illegal waste dumping is regarded as a major problem by over 75% of landowners, with estimates suggesting £150 million a year is being spent on remediation.
Waste industry
Unlicensed operators undermine legitimate waste management businesses by dumping their waste and undercutting genuine disposal costs.
Nine out of ten flytipping incidents we respond to involve hazardous wastes or wastes harmful to human, animal and environmental health, which is why expertise in this type of incident is crucial to ensure a rapid response is carried out safely.
