There’s no excuse for fly-tipping and littering in Camden
Fly-tipping can be anything dumped on the street, from a bag of rubbish to furniture.
Littering includes dropping anything from crisp packets to cigarette butts. Help keep Camden Clean - bin it or take it home.
We’ve launched a new campaign called ‘No more rubbish excuses’ after residents told us about the impact that dumped waste on streets and in parks has on the lives of their families and local community. A community safety enforcement team now patrols the streets and issues fines.
If you're caught littering, you can get a fine of £120. If you're caught fly-tipping, you can get a fine of £1,000.
These fines are called Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs).
You can report fly-tips (dumped rubbish), litter or another street cleaning issues in Camden using the Love Clean Streets app.

What to do with your waste
It’s your responsibility to dispose of your recycling and rubbish correctly.
Check what goes in bins and the recycling A-Z of items
It is illegal to dump your waste on the street. This includes recycling and rubbish bags that are put out at the wrong time or in the wrong place.
Check your collection day or time
Do you have something broken at home? Consider getting it repaired
Getting rid of large items
You should arrange a collection if you want to throw away a large item, such as furniture, or difficult to handle electrical items, such as a fridge.
Large item (bulky waste) collections
If you live on an estate, you may have a bulky waste store – speak to your caretaker.
Items that don’t fit in your bin can also be taken to Regis Road Reuse and Recycling Centre.
