Fly-tipping, Littering and Public Land

Overview

Fly-tipping and littering covers a range of items that people might discard in a public place, from large appliances like fridges to drugs-related paraphernalia like needles and syringes. It can be a health hazard, not to mention an eyesore. It can cause unpleasant smells, attract pests and create a dangerous environment for children, pets and wildlife in particular.

A Lincolnshire Environmental Crime Partnership has been established to help protect Lincolnshire’s environment by working together to effectively tackle waste related crimes. For further information on the Partnership and to view their Annual Report, please visit Lincolnshire Environmental Crime Partnership (lincolnshire-pcc.gov.uk)

If you’ve witnessed fly-tipping or people discarding drug-related items, please photograph the discarded items if possible, but please tell us about this.
