Do you know how to fight fly tippers?

Fly tipping harms people, pets, livestock and Devon’s natural environment. 🌿

Always check who you pay to take your rubbish away. 📲

Having waste removed? Protect yourself from fly tipping criminals:

❗️Don’t use doorstep cold-callers.
📱 Avoid social-media adverts where you can’t confirm their licence details.
🙅‍♀️ Don’t pay cash for rubbish removal.
✅ Always check that anyone offering to take your rubbish, including tradespeople, are licenced ‘waste carriers’ at https://t.co/7exvNfcj90.

Need to move rubbish quickly? Don’t be tempted by social media scammers!

If an offer seems too good to be true – it probably is. If dodgy dealers fly tip your waste, you could get stuck with a £600 fine.

Always check for a valid waste carriers license: https://t.co/7exvNfcj90
