According to a recent study, fly tipping in the UK has increased by 6% in the last few years, with local authorities having to deal with over 1.15 million incidents between 2023 and 2024. At In & Out Waste Removal, however, we offer a service that tackles the problem.
For those unaware, fly tipping refers to the illegal dumping of liquid or solid waste in areas where waste is not permitted, usually to avoid disposal costs. Our clearance service removes this waste from public or private spaces, including public roadsides, vacant lots, or private land.
The first step in securing fly tipping clearance is by contacting a waste removal service like ours. Once we receive your call or request, we will assess the situation, noting details such as the location of the waste, the volume of the waste, and any potential hazards. This will be done over the phone, but if given the go-ahead, our team will schedule a site visit to inspect the area more thoroughly.
Once a quote is agreed upon, we’ll then return to begin the waste removal process, using professional tools and equipment to ensure it’s carried out as safely as possible. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we’ll sort the waste into recyclable materials and non-recyclable materials, ensuring that as much of the waste as possible is disposed of responsibly, and after all the waste has been removed, we’ll carry out a thorough cleanup of the site to ensure it’s left safe and clean.
As we mentioned previously, cases of fly tipping have increased in the UK, and Manchester is no exception. Some of the benefits of securing fly tipping include:
Put simply, fly tipping is illegal, and leaving it unattended can lead to fines and legal action. By opting for a professional fly tipping clearance service like ours, you ensure the waste is properly disposed of, keeping you in compliance with local regulations.
One of the reasons fly tipping is illegal is because it’s damaging to the environment. Disposing of fly-tipped waste, then, helps to protect the environment and minimises the impact on landfills.
You might get in contact with us because a local fly tip has reduced the value of your property. Fly tipping, of course, can easily make an area look unsightly, reducing the overall appeal of a property or place. Professional clearance ensures the area looks clean and well-maintained, enhancing the appearance and value of your property and other properties in the area.
One of the dangerous things about fly tipping is that there could be a range of hazardous materials mixed in with the waste. These materials, such as chemicals, asbestos, or even sharp objects, pose serious risks to the public and the environment, and so it’s our responsibility to deal with these dangers and get rid of them.
In terms of how we handle hazardous materials, we take the time to assess the fly-tipped waste upon arrival, identifying any potentially dangerous materials and taking the proper precautions before removal begins. Our professional team is trained to handle materials like asbestos or chemicals, using protective gear like gloves, masks, and full-body suits to minimise the risk. We also bring specialised equipment to safely transport and dispose of the waste without endangering the public. This might include specialised containers, spill kits for managing any accidental releases, and secure vehicles that prevent the materials from posing a threat during transit.
As we noted previously, sustainable practices are at the heart of our company, which means ensuring hazardous waste is sent to the appropriate facilities. For example, asbestos will be taken to an approved waste treatment facility – where it will be disposed of in accordance with local regulations – while chemicals will be delivered to a chemical waste facility, where it will be treated by professionals. Whatever can be done to make fly tipping clearance as safe as possible, rest assured we will do it.
If you’re in need of fly tipping clearance, it’s important to get in contact with us as soon as possible. You can also learn more about our process through the FAQs below.
While Manchester City Council reported a 15% reduction in reported fly tips throughout 2022 and 2023, fly tipping remains a big problem. In Harehills, for instance, there have been over 15,000 offences, and this is why the service we provide has become so popular.
Fly tipping can include a wide range of waste materials, including household rubbish, construction debris, old furniture, electrical appliances, and sometimes hazardous materials. As mentioned previously, this will be assessed before the removal job starts, and we’ll plan accordingly depending on the type and scale of the fly tip.
If you notice fly tipping in your area, it’s important to report it to your local council. This will then assist with the safe and lawful clearance of the waste, ensuring the site is cleaned up responsibly.
