In 2024–25, 1.26m fly-tipping incidents were recorded by local authorities, an increase of almost 9% on the 1.15m reported for the previous year. These figures do not include waste cleared by private landowners from their land. Convicted fly-tippers can receive a significant fine, a community sentence or even a prison sentence. While fixed penalty notices for fly-tipping have increased by 9% over the past year, court fines have decreased by the same percentage.
