No fly tipping!
What is fly tipping?
The illegal dumping of waste. This includes anything from a single bag of waste to an item of furniture that is dumped next to your household/communal bin or on public land.
Fly tipping is a growing problem across all our schemes in Norfolk and north Suffolk. It is annoying for our tenants and costly for us to remove.
If you see someone dumping household rubbish near your home, please call 0303 303 0003 to report it immediately.

When we hold events at our schemes, we sometimes offer a ‘rubbish amnesty’ when we will take away bulky items for you. This one filled several vans!
