When reporting fly tips there is an option to choose from the items stated in the attachment – we would have to go into each individual report to find out exactly what was fly tipped which would exceed the time and cost of compliance.

Please note that the types of waste total and the total fly tips cleared differentiate as the types of waste are pulled from our reporting system which will contain duplicate reports of fly tipping incidents.

We do not record the cost of removal of different types of waste so we have provided an overall figure for the year.
