Rural Fly Tipping

We must all count ourselves fortunate to either live or work in a rural area of outstanding natural beauty. Unfortunately we have noticed an increase in the curse of fly tipping. Your rural neighbourhood team will be increasing patrols of vulnerable sites and working with our partner agencies to reduce this crime which blights the countryside. Anyone operating without a waste disposal license faces prosecution a fine and possibly seizure of their vehicle. If anything suspicious is seen, it can be reported to Mendip District Council Tel: 0300 303 8588 or the police Tel: 101 Non-emergency number.
