Issue details

From 9 May 2016, a waste collection authority in England has been allowed to

issue a fixed penalty notice (FPN) for fly-tipping, a contravention of the

Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA 1990). This provides local authorities

with a more efficient and proportionate response to small-scale fly-tipping of

waste.

The new provisions provide for a fine of not less than £150 and not more than

£400 as specified by the waste collection authority, and £200 if no amount is

specified by the authority.
