A total of 2,554 fines were issued by the London council between April 2024 and March 2025. 

The council has also employed an additional 15 environmental enforcement officers to join its existing team in combatting the issue.  

The council said that it has intensified its efforts to tackle the problems after residents called for tougher action in a recent survey. 

96% of residents were in favour of imposing fines to fly-tippers and 94% supported penalties for littering and dog fouling. 

The survey also found that 83% of local businesses and community organisations support fines to combat fly-tipping.  

Councillor Seema Chandwani, cabinet member for tackling inequality and resident services, said: “The message from these figures is clear. Our residents and businesses demanded stronger measures, and we have delivered. 

“Waste dumping and littering remain significant concerns in our borough, as voiced by our community, and we are committed to doing everything we can to put an end to this. 

“Together, we all aspire to live, work and play in a clean and green borough that instils us with pride. Keeping Haringey clean is a shared responsibility, and everyone must do their part. Those who refuse to contribute and instead damage our beautiful spaces will be held accountable.” 

Haringey council has called for residents to “play their part” by properly disposing of waste and reporting any incidents of fly-tipping.  

Incidents can be reported via the council’s website or by calling its waste contractor Veolia on 020 8885 7700.  

A spokesperson for the council said: “These fines demonstrate Haringey’s commitment to promoting a collective sense of responsibility for the borough’s public spaces.  

“This joint initiative not only protects the environment but also enhances community pride.”
