What is illegal dumping
Description: Illegal dumping, also called fly dumping or fly tipping, is the dumping of waste illegally instead of using an authorized method such as kerbside collection or using an authorized rubbish dump. It is the illegal deposit of any waste onto land, including waste dumped or tipped on a site with no license to accept waste.
