Fly-Tipping Solutions for Social Housing Estates

metroSTOR Webinar: Fly-Tipping Solutions for Social Housing Estates

About the event

Join us for an engaging and interactive Fly-Tipping Solutions Session, hosted by behavioural change and sustainability expert, Livvy Drake.

This session is designed for waste management professionals and local authorities who are:

Launching a focused campaign to tackle fly-tipping in their area, particularly in high-density housing estates
Experiencing problems with repeat fly-tipping
Looking to upskill their enforcement team
Wanting to shift attitudes around quick waste removal and implement new tactics to address fly-tipping challenges

With estates often bearing the brunt of repeat fly-tipping, this session will highlight how housing providers and local authority teams can collaborate on targeted interventions, from improved resident engagement to enforcement strategies that deter waste dumping. You’ll hear about practical solutions to educate communities on their legal responsibilities and amplify the impact of prosecutions to prevent reoffending.

The webinar will build on the insights from the Fly-Tipping Solutions Guide, with a focus on bringing the guide to life and taking proactive steps to ensure cleaner, safer communities. Livvy will discuss motivations behind fly-tipping and the barriers to legitimate waste disposal, exploring proven initiatives driven by behavioural science. She will detail key learnings from successful interventions implemented by other local authorities, including those addressing persistent fly-tipping hotspots on council estates and in social housing settings.

Who should attend?

This session is ideal for:

Local authority waste teams and enforcement officers
Housing associations managing waste disposal for tenants
Community engagement teams working on local environmental issues
Communications and marketing professionals involved in public messaging
Elected members shaping policy and strategy
