We can seize a vehicle if we believe it has been used, or will be used, to commit either:

  • a fly-tipping offence
  • waste transportation without the appropriate registration.

We will notify the police and the registered keeper of the vehicle in writing.

Vehicles we have seized

We can keep your vehicle in storage while we investigate an offence.
