Support available for litter picking (starting small, engaging the community)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We appreciate the work by residents and businesses helping to maintain the environment by arranging volunteer litter picks. From Monday March 29, we can support litter picking activity in small groups of up to six volunteers, or two households as per government guidance.

The rules below must be kept to:

Social Distancing

The 'rule of 6' or 2 households applies for gatherings outdoors, therefore volunteers that are not from the same household bubble should:

maintain social distancing of at least 2 metres.

not meet indoors.

not car share.

avoid areas with lots of people congregating.

Volunteers should observe social distancing particularly at the start and end of the event when equipment may be being handed out/collected.

Hygiene

Always wear gloves where possible and carry hand sanitiser.

No matter where you are or what you are doing, following the basic rules of good hygiene will help to protect you and others from COVID-19. These are washing your hands regularly with soap and water (or hand sanitiser when outside), especially:

after touching shared surfaces (such as handles, or handrails).

before eating or handling food.

after coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose.

when returning home.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If you do need to touch your face (for example to put on or take off your face covering), wash or sanitise your hands before and after. Remember Catch it, Kill it, Bin it. Cover your nose and mouth when you cough and sneeze with disposable tissues when you cough or sneeze. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow, not into your hand. Dispose of tissues into a rubbish bag and immediately wash your hands.

Equipment

Read information about shared equipment.

Who should not participate?

If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 (new continuous cough, temperature, loss of taste or smell) or have been in contact with anyone who has had symptoms, please follow government guidelines, stay at home and don't undertake any volunteering activity.

If you have symptoms, you and everyone you live with, must immediately self-isolate. You should arrange to get a PCR test.

If you have been advised to self-isolate for 10 days by NHS Test and Trace or via any other contact tracing route (e.g. school / employer) they should not participate in a litter pick.

People who are clinically extremely vulnerable are no longer required to shield from 1 April. However, it is recommended that you take extra precautions to protect yourself while the virus is still spreading in our communities.

Until the social distancing rules are eased more widely, it is important that you continue to keep the number of social interactions that you have low and try to reduce the amount of time you spend in settings where you are unable to maintain social distancing.

This section gives information about the most significant sources of water pollution.

Sewage (Waste Water)

Sewage is another name for waste water from domestic and industrial processes. Despite strict regulatory control, the Environment Agency data shows that the water and sewage industry accounted for almost a quarter of the serious water incidents in England and Wales in 2006.

Agricultural Pollution

The agriculture industry covers 76% of the land area of England and Wales. Agricultural processes such as uncontrolled spreading of slurries and manure, disposal of sheep dip, tillage, ploughing of the land, use of pesticides and fertilisers can cause water pollution. Accidental spills from milk dairies can also affect the quality of water.

Oil Pollution

Every year there are about 3,000 pollution incidents involving oil and fuels in England and Wales. Oil spillages affect water quality in a number of ways. Oil can make drinking water unsafe to drink. A substantial amount of oil released into oceans and seas will destroy wildlife and the ecosystems that sustain them. Oil spills also reduce oxygen supplies within the water environment. The main causes of oil related water pollution are:

loss from storage facilities

spillage during delivery and;

deliberate disposal of waste oil to drainage systems

Radioactive Substances

Radioactive waste is another source of water pollution. Radioactive substances are used in nuclear power plants, industrial, medical and other scientific processes. They can be found in watches, luminous clocks, television sets and x-ray machinery. There are also naturally occurring radioisotopes from organisms and within the environment. If not properly disposed of, radioactive waste can result in serious water pollution incidents.

River dumping

Lots of people dump supermarket trolleys, bicycles, garden cuttings and electronic waste into rivers or river banks. This is illegal and offenders may be charged for fly-tipping if caught. River dumping not only causes water pollution; it also harms wildlife and increases the risk of flooding. Fly-tipping (this includes river dumping) is a criminal offence. In the most severe cases, it can attract a maximum fine of £50,000 or a 5 year jail term.

Marine Dumping

The Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) estimates that a staggering amount of waste enters into the sea every year. Part of this is due to deliberate dumping of waste into coastal waters. Other sources of waste at sea include plastics and other materials blown or washed from land. Marine dumping is illegal under international and UK legislation. For more information visit the Marine Pollution page.

Key points
 For the 2019/20 year, local authorities in England dealt with just under 1 million
(976,000) fly-tipping incidents, an increase of 2% from the 957,000 reported in
2018/19.
 Just under two thirds (65%) of fly-tips involved household waste. Total incidents
involving household waste were 632,000 in 2019/20, an increase of 7% from 588,000
in 2018/19.
 The most common place for fly-tipping to occur was on highways (pavements and
roads), which accounted for over two fifths (43%) of total incidents in 2019/20. In2019/20, the number of highway incidents was 419,000, which was an increase of 6%
from 396,000 in 2018/19.
 The most common size category for fly-tipping incidents in 2019/20 was equivalent to
a ‘small van load’ (34% of total incidents), followed by the equivalent of a ‘car boot or
less’ (28%).
 In 2019/20, 33,000 or 3% of total incidents were of ‘tipper lorry load’ size or larger,
which is a decrease of 8% from 36,000 in 2018/19. For these large fly-tipping
incidents, the cost of clearance to local authorities in England in 2019/20 was £10.9
million, compared with £12.8 million in 2018/19.
 Local authorities carried out 474,000 enforcement actions in 2019/20, a decrease of
26,000 actions (5%) from 501,000 in 2018/19.
 The number of fixed penalty notices issued was 75,400 in 2019/20, a decrease of
2% from 77,000 in 2018/19. This is the second most common action (after
investigations), and accounted for 16% of all actions in 2019/20.
 The number of court fines issued increased from 2,056 (30%) to 2,671 in 2019/20,
with the value of total fines increasing to £1,170,000 (an increase of 7% on the
£1,090,000 total value of fines in 2018/19).

How To Deal With Fly Tipping | The Grounds Care Group (gcgrp.co.uk)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fly-tipping is the only crime where the victims (private landowners) have a legal responsibility to dispose of the waste. Under current legislation, landowners can be prosecuted if they fail to remove fly-tipped waste quickly enough.

Local authorities are responsible for investigating and clearing up smaller scale fly-tipping on public land and may investigate incidents on private land. However, landowners are still responsible for clearing fly-tipped waste on private land.

In certain circumstances, local authorities and the Environment Agency/Natural Resource Wales have powers to require occupiers and landowners to remove waste from their land. If landowners fail to comply, the local authority and the Environment Agency/Natural Resource Wales have powers to enter the land and clear it, and may seek reimbursement for costs related to this.

A number of other powers exist to require the removal of illegally deposited waste, including under:

Town and Country Planning Act 1990, ss 215-219: Local planning authorities have power to serve a notice on the owner and occupier of land to take steps to remedy the condition of the land where that land is affecting the amenity of a part of their area, or of an adjoining area.

Public Health Act 1961, s 34: Local authorities have power to remove any accumulation of rubbish that is in the open air and that it considers is seriously detrimental to the amenities of the neighbourhood. Not less than 28 days before taking any action, the local authority must serve a notice on the owner and occupier of the land stating the steps which they propose to take.

Penalties for fly-tipping

Defra says that tackling fly-tipping "remains a priority". It has strengthened local authorities' enforcement powers through fixed-penalty notices and by making it easier for vehicles suspected of being used for fly-tipping to be stopped, searched and seized.

Householders whose waste ends up being fly-tipped face fines of up to £400. The government introduced new sentencing guidelines in 2014, with a maximum £50,000 fine or 12 months in prison for offenders, if dealt with by a Magistrates' court. If a case is referred to a Crown court, the maximum penalty is imprisonment for up to five years, or a potentially unlimited fine.

What to do if it happens to you

Fly-tipping is an illegal waste crime. If you see a fly-tipping incident in progress, call 999 immediately. Do not approach the offenders, but note down how many people are involved, their descriptions and information about any vehicles being used, including the makes, colours, and registration numbers. If it is safe, take photographs.

Farmers can also use the NFU's Rural Crime Reporting Line, in partnership with Crimestoppers, to provide information about fly-tipping by calling 0800 783 0137 or visiting the dedicated website https://forms.theiline.co.uk/ruralcrimereportingline.

The National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group (NFTPG) recommends the following steps if you find waste dumped on your land:

Exercise caution. Some fly-tipped waste can be hazardous. Do not open bags or drums and be aware that piles of soil may be contaminated or hide dangerous material.

Record as many details as possible about the waste and when you found it. If possible take a photograph of the waste.

Report the incident - do not move the waste or remove any evidence from it until the authorities have been notified.

Secure the waste so that it cannot be interfered with or added to.

Remember that fly-tippers are doing something illegal - they are unlikely to welcome people observing them. Do not put yourself at risk - if fly-tipping is in progress, call 999.

When arranging for disposal, ensure that you use a registered waste carrier, as if it is dumped elsewhere you could be held responsible and face an unlimited fine.

Ensure that you get documentation which includes the details of the waste and who is taking it away.

If you take the waste to a licensed waste site yourself, make sure you are registered as a waste carrier.

If the waste is hazardous then make sure that it is being carried and disposed of by those licensed to deal with hazardous waste.

Keep full details of your clearance and disposal costs. Successful prosecution can mean that your costs incurred for the removal of the waste can also be recovered.

You should also contact your local authority and the Environment Agency (EA) - call 0800 80 70 60 - to see if they can offer any help and investigate an incident. You must contact the EA under certain circumstances: if the illegally dumped waste is more than 20 tonnes (about 20cu m); more than 5cu m of fibrous asbestos; more than 75 litres of potentially hazardous waste in drums or containers; or possibly linked to criminal business activity or rural crime.

Top tips to prevent fly-tipping

There are a number of measures farmers and landowners can take to prevent fly-tipping on their land, although it must be acknowledged that stopping a determined waste criminal is very difficult. The National Fly-tipping Prevention Group gives the following tips:

Restrict access to your land with the installation of gates or barriers, as an example strategically placed earth bunds, tree trunks and boulders.

Better site management - keep areas tidy and remove fly-tipped waste quickly. Ensure gates are closed and, if possible, locked when not in use.

Deterrence - this can be in the form of lighting, signage, CCTV or dummy CCTV cameras, security patrols.

Swiftly clear any waste to remove encouragement for others to add to it.

Work with others including your neighbours, local businesses and any existing partnerships.
