North East Lincolnshire Council are calling for the public’s help to identify a man caught fly-tipping on CCTV.

 

The incident, on Corporation Road, shows a man dumping two bin bags of rubbish against a wall.

 

Taking place on Wednesday 30th April 2025, at 11:23am, the Council are now asking the public to come forward to help identify the individual concerned.

 

If you recognise the person in the image, please call 01472 326299 (Option 1) or email communityprotection@nelincs.gov.uk and quote PR202505-36634.

 

What is fly-tipping?

 

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. In simple terms, it can vary from a single bag of waste upwards to thousands of tonnes of construction and demolition waste.

 

It can pose a significant threat to people, wildlife, the environment and the local economy. It also undermines legitimate waste businesses where unscrupulous operators undercut those operating within the law.

 

Fly-tipping involves dumping large quantities of waste or bigger items, while littering is described as dropping smaller items such as wrappers, cans and cigarette butts.

 

Additionally, it costs the Council tens of thousands of pounds to clear up every year. They actively investigate instances of fly-tipping to find evidence of who dumped the waste and who it originally belonged to and then take legal action.

 

How can I help?

 

There are a number of ways you can help prevent fly-tipping:

 

  • Report it – Report fly-tipping online via the Council website by visiting Fly-tipping | NELC

 

  • Registered Waste Carriers – If you are paying someone to take away your waste, you must make sure they are a registered waste carrier. To check if they are, visit Waste Carriers, Brokers and Dealers

 

  • Use the Community Recycling Centre (CRC) – If you are disposing of large amounts of waste, don’t forget to use the tip where they can accept a range of materials. To find out more, visit Recycling centres (the tip) | NELC
