Wiltshire Council fined 16 and issued 62 notices for fly-tipping in 2025, backed by new enforcement funding.

Wiltshire Council has prosecuted 16 people and issued 62 fixed penalty notices for fly-tipping in 2025, bolstered by permanent funding for its Environmental Enforcement team, which now includes two additional full-time officers. The council is targeting illegal dumping, scrap metal trading, and abandoned vehicles, with fines and community service handed down in high-profile cases. Its "We’re Targeting Fly-tippers" campaign has received national recognition, and officials stress sustained action is key to reducing waste crime and cleanup costs despite financial pressures.
