Flycapture
Flycapture, the national fly-tipping database, is now available for use.
Flycapture is the new web-based, fly-tipping database for England and Wales which will help local authorities and the Environment Agency tackle fly-tipping. It is one of a number of fly-tip busting measures that have been introduced to meet the requirements of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003.
Managed on behalf of the Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) by the Environment Agency, Flycapture provides much more than just a database - it is a strategic tool that will help authorities to improve intelligence on fly-tipping and focus resource on fly-tip hot spots.
All contributors to Flycapture will be able to access standard reports and compare figures at local, regional and national level.
Flycapture has been operational since April 2004 and local authorities should now be submitting their monthly returns. If you haven’t already done so, you’ll first need to register with the Environment Agency. To register, or if you have any questions relating to using Flycapture, then please send an e-mail to the Flycapture Hot Desk at flycapture@environment-agency.gov.uk

Technical information is available to assist Local Authorities and their software suppliers in preparing for the introduction of FlyCapture, the National Fly Tipping Data Project. In particular, this information will assist Local Authorities who are considering submitting their monthly return to Flycapture by e-mail attachment rather than by using the web pages.
