Barnet Council is cracking down on Fly tipping
Fly-tipping is a criminal offence that costs us tens of thousands of pounds per year to clear. This money could be better spent on vital services like healthcare, education and transport.
Every week, we clear an average of 70 fly-tips across the borough. New CCTV cameras are being installed in fly-tipping hotspots, so we can catch the people behind them.
We will prosecute anyone found to be fly-tipping in Barnet – and perpetrators will face penalties that include an unlimited fine, imprisonment or the seizure and crushing of their vehicle.
Don’t get caught dumping your trash illegally. It’s not worth the risk.
You can dispose of your waste responsibly by:
- donating furniture or large electrical appliances, which will be collected for free: www.barnet.gov.uk/reducereuse
- ordering a bulky waste collection at www.barnet.gov.uk/bulkywaste - charges start at £35 for up to three items.
- taking it to the Reuse and Recycling Centre, Summers Lane, N12 0RF for free – please book in advance before visiting: www.nlwa.gov.uk/places-to-recycle/barnet-summers-lane
If you witness fly-tipping, please do not put yourself at risk by approaching the offender. Instead, make a note of their vehicle registration number, date and time of the incident, and the exact location where it happened. Then contact us via: www.barnet.gov.uk/flytipping
We will then investigate and clear away any fly-tipping that is on public land.
