Learn more so you don't risk getting caught up in fly-tipping. Take our quick quiz to see how much you know – you might even find out one or two things you weren't aware of.

Unlicensed waste disposal carriers may end up fly-tipping your rubbish...and if evidence at the fly-tip site leads back to you as the householder, you could be the one receiving a fine.

Ensure you only use licensed carriers to dispose of your waste, and don’t be afraid to ask for credentials. Legitimate waste carriers will have no problem complying with your request.

Concerned that a contractor or tradesperson is not disposing of your waste in a legal manner? Call Crimestoppers on 0800 80 70 60 or report online.
