Engaging your Teams in Fly-Tipping Solutions

In this webinar, Livvy Drake and Natalie Carron shared insights into tackling resident fly-tipping, focusing on black bag and bulky household waste. They explored the behavioural reasons behind fly-tipping, barriers to legitimate disposal, and evidence-based solutions trialled by councils in Cambridge, Peterborough and Essex. Livvy outlined findings from the Fly-tipping Solutions Package, while Natalie presented lessons from Essex County Council’s SCRAP campaign. Topics included, behavioural barriers and motivators, enforcement strategies that worked (and those that did not), the impact of “binfrastructure” and street scene improvements, effective engagement and communication methods
