🚯 Fly-tipping is illegal – help us stop it!

Dumping waste on land is a crime under Section 33 of the Environmental Protection Act (1990). It’s not just an eyesore – it’s dangerous and costly to clean up.
🏡 Householders have a legal duty to make sure anyone removing waste from their home is a licensed waste carrier.

❗ If your rubbish is fly-tipped and traced back to you, you could be fined or prosecuted – even if someone else dumped it.

📲 Report fly-tipping easily via:
🔗 https://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/report-online
📱 Or use the MyWilts app

Let’s keep Wiltshire clean and safe 🌿

Communal doors help keep your building safe and secure.

🚫 Please do not wedge them open 🚫

In the summer it's tempting to wedge communal doors open to let in air or make it easier for children and pets to come in and out but this can:

• Damage the door and lead to costly repairs
• Reduce security in your building
• Affect fire safety

If doors are being wedged open, let your Neighbourhood Officer know

Getting the garden ready for Spring can mean a lot more garden waste than usual. Wiltshire Council offers a garden waste bin so you can recycle that waste for a small additional monthly cost.

A compost bin can provide another way to recycle green waste and create high quality compost for your plants.

Find out more about the garden waste collection and other ways we can help you recycle garden waste at

Collection of garden waste is an optional, chargeable service, that you need to register for. On the following pages you can register or renew your collection, see our collection charges, check your collection dates, find guidance on what we collect, and report missed collections or damaged bins.
