Are you having a clear out? Don't be tempted to dump your unwanted items. Please take them to the local Household Waste Recycling Centres (Tips) or organise a bulky waste collection (charges apply). If you recognise any of the dumped items on this page, please let us know.

Grime Watch will be updated with pictures taken by council officers of unsolved fly tipping. We want to catch the people responsible for these crimes - but we need your help. Below are the most recent reports of fly tipping - for previous reports please see the Past Grimes page.

If you have any information about the 'unsolved grimes' below email us at grimewatch@staffordbc.gov.uk or call 01785 619402. All information will be treated in confidence.

If you know of fly tipping in your area you can report it using the following form or give us a call on 01785 619402.

Please note, if the information you provide regarding a fly tipping or littering offence involves a vehicle, a full, signed statement will be required from you in order for us to access registered keeper details. Please be prepared to provide this as part of your report otherwise we cannot trace the car and no action will be taken.
