Fly-Tipping Clearance
Big Man delivers fast, lawful, and responsible fly-tipping clearance services across the UK. Illegally dumped waste is more than an eyesore — it presents health and safety risks, attracts further dumping, and can expose landowners and businesses to legal liability if not handled correctly.
Our experienced teams respond quickly to remove dumped waste from public and private land, ensuring everything is handled safely and disposed of through authorised facilities. Urgency never compromises compliance; every clearance is completed to professional standards with full documentation.
What Is Fly-Tipping Clearance?
Fly-tipping clearance is the removal and lawful disposal of waste that has been illegally dumped on land without permission. This can include household rubbish, construction materials, furniture, electrical items, and mixed waste abandoned in alleys, car parks, open land, or outside properties.
Under UK law, landowners and occupiers have a Duty of Care to manage waste found on their land responsibly. Using a professional clearance service protects you from fines, environmental harm, and reputational damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fly-tipping clearance cost?
Costs depend on the volume, type of waste, access, and urgency. We provide fixed, upfront pricing before work starts, allowing landowners and businesses to budget accurately without hidden fees.
Do you offer same-day fly-tipping clearance?
Yes, same-day or next-day attendance is often available, subject to location and availability. Rapid response helps reduce risk, prevent further dumping, and restore safety quickly.
Is fly-tipping clearance legally compliant?
Absolutely. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully within UK waste regulations. All waste is disposed of at authorised facilities with documentation provided to meet Duty of Care requirements.
What happens to the waste after clearance?
Waste is sorted at licensed facilities. Recyclable materials are recovered wherever possible, and only non-recoverable waste is sent to landfill, minimising environmental impact.
How does this differ from council fly-tipping removal?
Council services may be limited by responsibility boundaries and response times. Our service is faster, proactive, and tailored to private and commercial landowners.
Is fly-tipping clearance better than using a skip?
Yes. Skips do not address sorting, investigation, or compliant disposal of illegally dumped waste. Our service removes everything correctly in one coordinated process.
