Targeted fly-tipping interventions carried out across Walsall
The 'EnviroCrime' initiative reflects the council’s zero-tolerance approach to environmental crime
A series of targeted fly-tipping interventions have been carried out across Walsall.
Reflecting the council’s zero-tolerance approach to environmental crime the 'EnviroCrime' initiative marks and investigates every fly-tipping incident.
Councillor Suky Samra, Portfolio Holder for Street Scene said:
"We are absolutely fed up with people thinking the floor is their own collection point. It’s not only lazy but also shows a complete lack of respect for neighbours and for our borough."
"Our EnviroCrime approach makes it clear that we take these incidents seriously. Every time waste is dumped, it costs time and money that could be spent improving our communities. We are determined to hold offenders to account and to keep our streets and public spaces clean for everyone."
A large fly-tip was recently reported on Brockhurst Crescent that was obstructing the pavement.
The illegally dumped waste was cordoned off and treated as an ‘EnviroCrime’ scene on the 3rd of October 2025, and removed on 6 October 2025 following an investigation.
Walsall Council aims to send a clear message to offenders and reassure residents that waste dumping will not be ignored.
