fly-tipper

Roadside trash abandoner

A fly-tipper is someone who illegally dumps waste in unauthorized locations—roadsides, fields, or vacant lots—rather than disposing of it properly.

The term is primarily British: The council installed cameras to catch fly-tippers.

The practice itself is fly-tipping, and the verb is to fly-tip.
