New figures show that fly tipping has decreased in most areas of Nottingham
despite the introduction of a £20 charge for the collection of bulky waste. Nottingham City Council introduced the charge in April, applying to items that cannot fit in the bin or which cannot be taken to the tip.
The £20 charge applies for up to six items, such as a sofa, wardrobe and table, with the council taking the waste from outside a resident's property after they have booked a collection. The authority said at the time: "Whilst it is regrettable we can no longer offer a free bulky waste collection service, we believe a charge of £20 is good value for a bookable waste collection service, and much cheaper than many other councils.
The council's overview and scrutiny committee asked for data to be provided so that the amount of fly tipping since the introduction of the charge could be analysed. The data has now been provided ahead of the committee's next meeting on January 4 and it shows that fly tipping has decreased in most areas of Nottingham.The data compares reports of fly tipping between April 1 and October 31, 2021, with the same period this year.
"The other 15 wards saw a decrease in the number of reported fly tips in 2022 compared to 2021, with over 300% reduction." Below are the five best and five worst areas of Nottingham in terms of fly tipping reports made between April and October 2022.Best five areas for fly tipping reports between April and October
