fly tipping
Roadside trash abandonment
Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste in unauthorized locations—roadsides, fields, or vacant lots rather than proper disposal sites.
The term is primarily British: The council has installed cameras to catch fly tippers.
The practice ranges from bags of household rubbish to construction debris and old appliances.
Fly tipping incurs fines and cleanup costs for landowners and local authorities.
