Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. It can vary from a single bin bag to thousands of tonnes of waste. It can be dangerous, pollutes land and waterways and costs local authorities significant amounts of money to clear away.
Between April 2023 – March 2024 there were 1285 recorded incidents of fly-tipping in Wrexham alone.
Fly-tipping is illegal and residents should ensure that if they have bulky items to dispose of they use a reputable company or the council’s bulky waste collection service.”
If you have large amounts of rubbish to dispose of please ensure that you use a reputable company to do it on your behalf. As the householder you have a duty to check that the person you are using has the correct licence to do so. The company acting on your behalf can not dispose of the items at our household recycling centres but must dispose of it at a private licensed facility.
Wrexham Councils Bulky Waste Collection Service…
You can also use Wrexham County Borough Councils bulky waste collection service. Bulky waste refers to items that are too large to be taken away with the normal refuse collection. This can mean items such as furniture, white goods and garden equipment. Up to eight items can be collected for a minimum charge of £57.50. Any additional item over eight items has an extra charge of £10 per item.
Bulky collections are normally made on your next collection day providing that a notice of 2 working days are given.
We will take:
• Furniture (e.g. tables, chairs, suites, beds, mattresses, cabinets, desks, bookcases, wardrobes)

Cllr Terry Evans Lead Member for Environment and Transport said, “Fly-tipping is illegal and residents should ensure that if they have bulky items to dispose of they use a reputable company or the councils bulky waste collection service. “The clearing up of fly tipped rubbish is costly, time consuming and draws resources away from where they could be put to better use.
