https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/fly-tipping-in-england<\/a> Data for the 2020/21 period will be published in early December. We last published an estimated total cost of clearing fly-tipping to local authorities in England in 2016/17 at £57.7 million.<\/p>Defra is working to develop a fly-tipping toolkit to support local councils following extra research we have commissioned. We expect to publish the first element on \u2018Presenting robust cases to court\u2019 early next year. Fly-tipping is a menace we are determined to clamp down on, not only with the new toolkit, but with measures such as electronic waste tracking and strengthening to our waste brokers, carriers and dealers licensing, as well as strengthened powers in the Environment Act to detect and prosecute waste criminals.<\/p>"}
