<p>Defra collects data on the number of fly-tipping incidents and actions taken which
is provided by local authorities in England. These data are published annually and
may include some private land incidents that are voluntarily reported (although it
is not mandatory to do so). Defra does not hold data relating solely to fly-tipping
incidents on private land. The tables below show the data held regarding prosecutions
and fines for fly-tipping in the last ten years. Details of fine levels for individual
cases are not held.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Local authority prosecutions for fly-tipping
