Hi Rutland,

Given the current local and regional issues with waste recycling centres, it's a good time to share this information:

Not sure who to report fly tipping to? Here’s a simple guide.

Report to the police if:
• You see fly tipping happening
• You have details of the person or vehicle involved
• The dumping is linked to other criminal activity
• There is abuse, threats or dangerous behaviour

Report to the council if:
• Fly tipped waste has already been dumped
• You want rubbish cleared from public land
• The waste is on roadsides, alleyways, verges or footpaths
• You’re reporting repeat problems in the same location

Remember: if you pass your waste to an unlicensed carrier and it’s fly tipped, you could be fined too.
Always check they’re licensed and ask for a receipt.

Preventing Theft from a Vehicle

Having your car broken into and losing your things to thieves can be very distressing. Here are a few simple steps you can take to keep your vehicle, and what’s in it, safe.
• Always lock your vehicle.
• Close all the windows fully.
• Secure your number plates with tamper-resistant screws.
• Fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts to secure alloy wheels.
• Secure anything that’s on the outside of your vehicle.
• Take it with you or hide it – don’t leave personal belongings in the vehicle and if you must, not on display.
• Hide electrical items like Sat Navs and phone accessories, leave no clues.
• Park in well-lit, busier areas with CCTV where possible and choose your carpark wisely.

Always record the serial numbers of your expensive kit. Chainsaws, trailers, ATV'S, and quads are attractive to thieves. Report a rural crime or anything suspicious either online or 101.
