flytipping
Roadside garbage abandonment
Flytipping is the illegal dumping of waste in unauthorized locations—roadsides, fields, vacant lots.
The term is primarily British.
The fly- prefix suggests doing something hastily or on the sly, as in fly-by-night.
Flytipping has become a serious problem in rural areas.
Also spelled fly-tipping.
