Who we are:

The National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group (NFTPG) is a group of organisations working together to tackle fly-tipping. It is chaired by Defra and includes representatives from central and local government, enforcement authorities, the waste industry, the police and fire service, private landowners and the devolved administrations. Our objective is to find ways to prevent or reduce fly-tipping by influencing, advising, supporting and promoting best practice as well as raising awareness of the potential environmental damage fly-tipping can cause.  

 

If you would like to find out more about our aims, members or membership criteria, please contact flytipping@defra.gov.uk.  

 

Toolkit: 

The NFTPG are currently developing a web-based fly-tipping toolkit to help share best practice on a range of issues. The toolkit will cover a wide range of topics including;  

 

  • How local authorities and others can present robust cases to court 

  • How local authorities can set up and run an effective fly-tipping partnership. 

  • How to best share intelligence within a partnership and with other partnerships. 

  • How to best promote the duty of care for individuals and businesses. 

  • Examples of existing good practice to prevent fly-tipping. 

  • How to use new technology to report fly-tipping. 

  • How to deal with fly-tipping associated with unauthorised encampments.

 

So far, the group has published a guide on how councils and others can present robust cases to court and a new framework which sets out how to set up and run effective local partnerships to tackle fly-tipping. Please see the downloads section to the right of the screen to view these documents. 

 

Best practice case studies and a communications toolkit for raising awareness of the household waste duty of care have also been produced. To receive the printable 'household waste duty of care’ campaign materials please contact flytipping@defra.gov.uk
