    Send a licensed carrier to get the rubbish and dispose of it properly (another £70 surely cheaper than £400!).  Keep all your evidence. Issue money claim online to original "man with van" for the return of the £70.   The council may or may not have more important things to do. Round here it is totally hit and miss as to how they respond to fly tipping situations.  We get a lot of waste fly tipped on the edge of our fields so sadly I know from experience that there are not masses of resources to follow up.

    You need to either go and get that waste or pay someone with an actual waste carrier's licence to go and get it.  

    As it is, you are aware that your property has been fly tipped, and it still is.  I'm not sure what the position of the LA will be if it has gone, but if it is still there, they will be holding you responsible.   The actual tipper will be the bonus.  
    Exactly this^^^^
    We have now become so sick of fly tippers if we find evidence of where its come from we return to sender, Not legal but unfortunately the only way to get the message across to homeowners to do there research properly. 

    Last lot was tipped even had the builders T shirts and phone number amongst the waste.

    @suki1964 he wasn't a man with a van, he is apparently a legitimate company but when I've done my research there's no business!! 
    If there’s a next time (and there should be, tomorrow, when you arrange to have your rubbish disposed of) then ask to see their Waste disposal licence.

    The local councils have been so short sighted with shutting the refuse collection/ recycling centres. They were also short sighted in closing public toilets, it now seems the public are just taking a dump where they can

    Remembering a week at that location when I was 7, it seems to me that the 'beachgoers' had the right idea. No one convinced me then that it was a suitable holiday destination and I've never been back, so I don't know if the sea has. I never saw it!
