An app with full UK coverage is providing a quick and easy way for citizens to report fly-tipped waste. And it’s growing in popularity – with over 2000 incidents reported since the app’s launch this summer, and 250 incidents logged in the last 7 days.
Founder of ClearWaste, Martin Montague, comes across massive pile of rubbish less than 30ft from a residential development.
Software developer Martin Montague has set up ClearWaste, a platform where people can report cases of fly-tipping around the UK. It comes as illegal rubbish dumping cost taxpayers at least £750 million last year and had disastrous impacts on the environment.

While the vast majority of householders dispose of their waste responsibly, very sadly a minority do not. In 2017-2018 Local Authorities in England responded to just under 1 million (998,000) fly-tipping incidents; a slight decrease of 1% from the 1,011,000 reported in 2016-2017. Two-thirds (66%) of fly-tips involve household waste.
A businessman who got bored of waiting for the government to reduce fly-tipping has created a new app to combat the problem. Councils across the country can use the app or website to identify rubbish within their area including details and photographs of the illegal dumping.
Martin Montague, a businessman from Winchester, has spent £250,000 of his own money creating the free service ClearWaste.com to help fight waste crime across the country.
