3. The Council utilises the various tools and powers available to us set out legislation to investigate and enforce fly tipping where appropriate and proportionate. We do not have a specific budget for fly tipping enforcement. The costs of clean-up/removal of fly tipping are not recorded separately as this is included in the overall waste and cleansing contract costs.
