Fly-tipping

We want to help keep your neighbourhood a safe, clean and great looking place to live.

Fly-tipping has a negative impact on our neighbourhoods and is dangerous, ugly and illegal.

Salix Homes has a responsibility to remove fly-tipping waste that is on our land.

If fly-tipping is reported to us on land managed by Salford Council, we will refer the issue to them as it’s their responsibility.

If you notice any fly-tipping in your area you can report this to us through MySalix or call us on 0800 218 2000.

Perpetrators caught fly-tipping will be charged for the cost of clearing and disposing of the rubbish, as well as being issued a tenancy warning.

Donate large items to charity. Some charities, like The British Heart Foundation, will come and collect your large items for free if they are in good condition.
Donate your unwanted furniture to our Salix Homes Furniture Recycling scheme.

Do not touch the waste. Fly-tipping can contain dangerous materials like syringes, asbestos or broken glass.
Look at the waste to see if you can tell what it is and how much there is.
Take note of its exact location and whether it is near water. Hazardous materials can leak into local water sources.
Do not disturb the sight, there may be evidence in the waste that can help us with an investigation.
Report the fly-tipping to us through MySalix or contact us on 0800 218 2000.
