No soft landing for dumpers – around Ealing (winter 2025 issued jan 2026)
As featured in the Winter Edition of Around Ealing (pages 8-9), LAGER Can is pleased to be working with Ealing Council’s environmental enforcement officers at APCOA.
A committed group of LAGER Can members were selected to act as the “eyes and ears” of the borough. They have been reporting incidents of fly-tipping directly to a dedicated mailbox managed by APCOA.
Between June and December, 25 members who regularly report fly-tips where evidence is found were invited to trial sending their reports directly to the council’s enforcement subcontractors to speed processes.
This resulted in:
- 53 reports submitted
- 42 caution questionnaires sent
- 35 Fixed Penalty Notices issued
- £8,200 fines revenue generated
