My garden is over shadowed by overgrown trees. The trees and the path behind my house are council owned and managed. Once a year I get a tree fella to trim the overhanging branches. They do their job and then chuck the off-cuts over the fence as this is apparently what you are supposed to do, give the owners of the foliage the off cuts as they own them. This year I intend to do it myself but I am very nervous of being done for fly tipping!

Is it correct that the cut branches and foliage are to be given back to the owner who in this case is the council?
