What is fly-tipping

Fly-tipping is a very serious problem. The illegal dumping of rubbish is costing tax payers around 100 million pounds in England every year. The local authorities can fine you if you have waste taken away from your property and it is later found to have been dumped illegally. Fly-tipping of rubbish affects local environments, it can contaminate rivers and wildlife and even reduce local house prices.
