'Fly-tipping' By Night?

'Fly-tipping' is the illegal dumping of household, gardening and building rubbish on other people's land. There were more than one million fly-tipping incidents, in England and Wales, in 2020-2021. Clearing fly-tipping costs government more than £390 million per year. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is proposing a new law change, they hope will reduce fly-tipping (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/11/diy-waste-disposal-charges-england-wales-fly-tipping). Some local authorities are currently allowed to charge householders for the removal of waste created by 'Do If Yourself' activities. People can be charged up to £10 per item for removal of plasterboard, old bath units and bricks etc. Removing these disposal charges from households in England and Wales, it is felt, might reduce fly-tipping. It sounds superficially a good idea. Many cash-strapped local authorities are, however, reducing all their waste collections. Some people might well fly-tip rather than wait. Charges, made by some local authorities, to dispose of household rubbish at waste centres, were abolished in 2015. Did this stop fly-tipping? Perhaps, once a fly-tipper, always a fly-tipper?
