Charnwood Borough Council

Rubbish Accumulations Causing Public Health Nuisances

The legislation covering the correct disposal of rubbish, both domestic and commercial, is very complex. The responsibility for the enforcement of rubbish related offences does not rest with one particular agency, and often the circumstances of the situation determines which enforcement agency is responsible for investigating and taking further action. This page seeks to explain the powers available to the Council’s Environmental Protection team to deal with specific public health and nuisance situations. Where appropriate, contact details are provided for some of the other agencies that deal with other rubbish related issues that fall outside of the Environmental Protection team’s responsibility.
