Boston Borough Council is appealing for information from all local residents and businesses relating to fly-tipping in the borough. 

Fly-tipping is regularly reported to the council and where they find evidence in the waste they will take action against those responsible. However, there are occasions when identifying the culprits is not possible from the waste left behind. 

Therefore the council is urging anyone who recognises where waste has come from or has spotted any suspicious behaviour in laybys or fly tipping hot spots to come forward sharing any evidence on dashcam footage by emailing flyswat@boston.gov.uk 

Compared to June 2019 when there were 68 fly-tips reported, June 2020 saw a near 4-fold increase to 254. From March to July 2019 there were 448 fly-tips reported whereas in the same period in 2020 there were 1055, nearly 2 ½ time more incidents.

The council do arrange for the fly-tipped waste to be removed as soon as possible when reported however, they are appealing for your help.
