Waste Enforcement in South Tyneside

What is Enforcement Its a way of changing bad behaviour to good behaviour It is not an exercise to prosecute as many people as possible We do this by: Education Persuasion/ Encouragement Community Engagement Warning letters Prosecution in the magistrates or Crown court Publicity for our successes

What are the main problems in south Tyneside Litter Abandoned waste in back lanes and public areas Wheeled bins left out in the rear lanes Illegal dumping Abandoned vehicles Vehicles for sale at the roadside Waste storage Duty of care for businesses

How effective are we ? Large reduction in the amount of commercial waste dumping in all areas Strict controls on wheeled bin distribution has reduced the numbers of bins left in lanes Large reduction in abandoned vehicles by working with the DVLA Addressing waste abandoned in lanes by using a range of enforcement tools Engaging local businesses and ensuring they comply with the Environmental protection Act

The future Limited resources means we need to focus on areas of greatest concern Working in partnership with other organisation to share resources and work more effectively Training operational staff on basic enforcement techniques so they can challenge bad behaviour. Monitoring waste collection company's to ensure they are working within the law.

Dealing with Private Land and Gardens Tony Hanson Programme Delivery Manager

Questions we have to ask Can the rubbish attract rodents? Does it pose a health risk? Is it causing a nuisance? Can the rubbish offer somewhere for rodents to nest?

If the answer is YES We can require the landowner or tenant to clear the land.

If they don’t We clear the rubbish!

And we prosecute! From 2010 over 70 prosecutions Fines Totalling over £20,000 Compensation Orders made to recover ‘All Reasonable Costs’ over £1400

If the answer is NO Then we are unable to take any action.

Challenges It takes time for the Courts to recover the compensation and pay it to the Council. We have to consider the costs of clearing the rubbish and/or if the recipient is able to pay. We must demonstrate that any prosecution meets the ‘public interest’ test. The time required in pulling together a case file.

Any Questions
