Fly-tipping is defined as the illegal dumping of waste or rubbish, and anything beyond a single sack of rubbish is considered fly-tipping. This includes a wide range of items, as long as they are disposed of unlawfully.
Here's a simple overview of what constitutes fly-tipping:
| Type of Waste | Description |
|---|---|
| Household Waste | General rubbish from homes, including furniture and appliances. |
| Construction Debris | Waste from building sites, such as bricks, wood, and rubble. |
| Garden Waste | Grass clippings, branches, and other refuse from gardens. |
| Electrical Items | Discarded electrical equipment, such as TVs and computer parts. |
| Commercial Waste | Waste generated by businesses, improperly disposed of. |
