// THE LANDOWNER'S POSITION

The council won't clear it.
But you're still liable.

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, fly-tipped waste on private land is the landowner's legal responsibility — regardless of who put it there.

  • You can receive a Section 59 enforcement notice requiring clearance at your cost
  • Hazardous waste creates immediate health, fire and environmental liability
  • Failure to use a licensed carrier for removal is itself a criminal offence
  • The site becomes a magnet — more waste follows if not secured quickly
  • Insurance may be invalidated if hazardous materials are left unaddressed
  • Prosecution of perpetrators requires evidence gathered correctly from day one
WHAT CIT CHANGES
  • One call — we co-ordinate everything that follows
  • Security deployed within hours — site stabilised before more waste arrives
  • Evidence gathered correctly from the start — not retrospectively
  • Only licensed, documented contractors used — no liability gap
  • EA and police liaison handled — you don't navigate that alone
  • Full paper trail — waste transfer notes, consignment notes, incident log
  • Intelligence shared with JUWC where organised crime is suspected
WHO WE WORK WITH
  • Managing agents and property management companies
  • Agricultural landowners and estate managers
  • Insolvency practitioners — inherited site liability
  • Property developers — vacant and development land
  • Industrial estate operators
  • Housing associations and registered providers
  • Loss adjusters and insurers

// FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What landowners
need to know.

Answers to the questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, call us on 0121 751 9038.

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the landowner is legally responsible for removing fly-tipped waste from their land — even if they did not cause it. Local authorities will investigate incidents but are under no obligation to clear waste from private land. Failure to act can result in an Environment Agency Section 59 enforcement notice requiring clearance at the landowner's cost, plus potential prosecution.
Do not disturb the waste — it may contain hazardous materials or evidence that could identify the offenders. Photograph and document everything including tyre tracks, any visible paperwork or markings, and the full extent of the deposit. Report to the Environment Agency on 0800 80 70 60. For large-scale incidents, call CIT on 0121 751 9038 — we will attend site, assess the hazard, deploy security and co-ordinate the full response.
A Section 59 notice under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 is served by the Environment Agency or local authority on a landowner requiring them to remove fly-tipped waste from their land within a specified timeframe. Failure to comply means the authority can clear the waste themselves and recover all costs — including their own operational costs — from the landowner. In serious cases this can reach tens of thousands of pounds. CIT can manage the full Section 59 response.
Yes — and increasingly they are. Fly-tipping is a criminal offence under Section 33 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Penalties range from a £1,000 fixed penalty notice for minor incidents to an unlimited fine and 5 years imprisonment for organised waste crime in the Crown Court. Successful prosecution requires evidence gathered correctly from day one — which is why CIT's involvement from the outset of an incident dramatically increases the likelihood of a prosecution outcome.
Check the Environment Agency's public register of waste carriers at environment.data.gov.uk/public-register. Any contractor removing waste must hold a valid upper-tier waste carrier licence. Be very cautious of cash-only operators or contractors who cannot produce a registration number on request. If you use an unlicensed carrier and the waste is later found dumped, you as the landowner may face prosecution for failing your duty of care under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. All CIT-engaged clearance contractors are EA-registered.
The Joint Unit for Waste Crime (JUWC) is a multi-agency law enforcement body tackling serious and organised waste crime in England. It brings together the Environment Agency, HMRC, National Crime Agency and regional police forces to target the most serious offenders — including those running illegal waste networks worth millions of pounds. CIT works within this framework, preparing intelligence packages and briefings for JUWC referral where organised crime is suspected.
CIT is an incident management service, not a skip hire firm. We co-ordinate and oversee the full response — but all physical waste removal is carried out by EA-licensed clearance contractors, with CIT as the single point of accountability. This means you get one contract, one co-ordinator, and a single paper trail — not four separate contractors with no single point of responsibility. All waste is removed with full documentation including waste transfer notes and, where required, hazardous waste consignment notes.
Cost depends on the scale, type and hazard classification of the waste. Small incidents may cost a few thousand pounds. Large industrial-scale incidents — particularly those involving hazardous materials such as asbestos, chemical waste or materials requiring specialist disposal — can run to tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds. CIT will conduct a site assessment and provide a clear cost picture before any work commences. We also work to maximise cost recovery from perpetrators where possible and provide full documentation to support insurance submissions.
