Fly-tipping

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of items like white goods (fridges, freezers, cookers), furniture, mattresses and rubbish left next to litter or recycling banks.

We will not tolerate fly-tipping on our housing estates and we will do everything possible to identify and take appropriate enforcement action against residents who fly-tip. Find out how to report a fly-tip to Sutton Housing Partnership.

Cameras have been installed across several of our managed areas as part of a 12-month trial to help reduce fly-tipping. The cameras have been placed in and around bins areas and other known fly-tipping hotspots. When activated they take still images which are then sent to an enforcement officer for review.
