Councils across Oxfordshire take fly-tipping seriously and will prosecute those responsible for trashing our county. Evidence gathering and CCTV footage have enabled many successful court prosecutions where fly-tippers are fined and walk away with a criminal record.
Below are a couple of examples of fly-tipping convictions. With enforcement officers currently working on cases we will add to this section as the guilty get caught.
