CLA urges fly-tipped victims to speak out The CLA today (19 April) urged victims of fly-tipping to report incidents on a national database which highlights the environmental crime. The Association is working with the Landowner Partnership to record incidents of fly-tipping on the Government database, Flycapture. The project has been set up to encourage every farmer, land owner and land manager to report fly-tipping.
CLA President William Worsley said: "We're pleased to see the Government take fly-tipping so seriously. Recent pilot schemes in the West Midlands and North West have highlighted the problems faced when reporting fly-tipping, so to get a true picture of the scale of the problem on private land, the Flycapture project has rolled out across the country until September.
"We hope the data recorded nationally will expose the scale of the problem, and encourage the Government to allow the disposal of fly-tipped waste from private land at local tips without charge."
He added: "Even if you are not a member of the CLA but you own or manage land, you can report a fly-tipping incident to us."
