Fly-tippers in Wales can face fines of up to £50,000 or imprisonment. Householders who do not ensure their waste is disposed of properly can also be fined £300 if their waste is found to have been fly-tipped.

Cllr Edward Thomas, Carmarthenshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport, Waste and Infrastructure Services said: “Fly-tipping is not only an eyesore but a serious environmental crime that affects our communities, wildlife, and public spaces. We are dedicated to tackling this issue and ensuring those responsible are held accountable. I encourage anyone who has seen suspicious activity or has information to come forward.”
