Event details
To register your interest, email Events@newham.gov.uk by Sunday 30 September and we will get back to you.
Saturday 6 October
10am to 4pm
Newham Town Hall, Barking Road
East Ham
We know many of our residents feel strongly about fly-tipping in the borough.
If you’re passionate about making a real difference, and you want to develop and share ideas that could help to resolve Newham’s fly-tipping issues, join us and Keep Britain Tidy for a one-day workshop.
We’ll work together on:
- understanding fly-tipping in Newham
- looking at what Newham Council has done to help
- identifying what has and hasn’t worked
- brainstorming ideas and designing solutions.
If you’re successful in securing a place, you’ll receive a confirmation email on Monday 1 October.
This is an all day event, with refreshments provided at the start and midway through the workshop.
This workshop is designed for residents who are 18 and over. There are limited spaces available, so to avoid disappointment register your interest now.
Report fly-tipping
You can report fly-tipping online through My Newham.Before you start
We will ask you:
- where the rubbish has been dumped
- what rubbish has been dumped
- if you have any other details that could help us, such as a vehicle registration or the name of the fly-tipper.
If you catch a fly-tipper in action and are able to safely take a photo or video of them, their vehicle, or both without putting yourself in danger, tell us in your report. We may be able to use it to prosecute them.
Report it
You don't have to give your details, but if you use
your My Newham account to tell us about the problem, you will be able to track our progress.
If you have a smart phone or tablet, you can also report fly-tipping when you see it using our Love Newham app.
