Campaign Resources

We’ve re-launched our 'It’s Your Duty to Care | Eich Dyletswydd Chi yw Gofalu' campaign — and we need your help to increase awareness around one of Wales’  most common waste crimes.

The toolkit can be found here.

Did you know that over 70% of fly-tipped waste in Wales contains unwanted household items and waste?

Most often, this is the result of a householder unknowingly putting their excess waste into the hands of a fly-tipper.

Fly-tipping is a serious crime, which poses an immediate threat to the environment, animals, local communities, and our beautiful Welsh landscapes. So, as ever, we are keen to continue working alongside our partners and stakeholders, like yourselves, to help tackle fly-tipping in Wales and to increase public awareness around prevalent waste crimes.

Our It’s Your Duty to Care | Eich Dyletswydd Chi yw Gofalu campaign, created in partnership with Welsh Government, urges householders in Wales to always check for a waste carrier license on the Natural Resources Wales website before employing any person or company to remove excess waste from their property.

If householders do not carry out these necessary checks and their waste is found fly-tipped, they can be fined £300 and risk prosecution for not following their Household Waste Duty of Care.

How you can help:

With your help and support — we can further increase public awareness of Household Waste Duty of Care, continue to combat fly-tipping in Wales and protect many more people from being scammed by fly-tippers.

With more education and awareness, we can lower the percentage of fly-tipped household waste and ensure that householders recognise the correct steps they need to follow when disposing of their excess waste.
