The picture in the word is British too. Tip, here, is not extra money for a waiter. In Britain, to tip rubbish is to dump it, and a tip is a dump. On the fly means doing something in a hurry, without going through the proper steps. So fly-tipping is dumping waste as you go, not at the official place.

Though actually, it is not only big trucks and builders. A person who leaves a mattress on the pavement because they will not wait for collection is doing a small version of the same thing — and in Britain that can still count.

- What can be done about fly-tipping? It’s one of the great scourges of the modern countryside – and it’s getting worse. Fly-tipping – the illegal dumping of rubbish on public land, farmland, laybys and country lanes – has soared to an all-time high in England, according to new statistics released by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). In 2024–25, 1.26m fly-tipping incidents were recorded by local authorities, an increase of almost 9% on the 1.15m reported for the previous year. These figures do not include waste cleared by private landowners from their land. Convicted fly-tippers can receive a significant fine, a community sentence or even a prison sentence. While fixed penalty notices for fly-tipping have increased by 9% over the past year, court fines have decreased by the same percentage. The picture in parts of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is similarly dismal. Many fly-tippers are getting away with it. It’s not just the odd mattress or bag of nappies. Some of the worst instances involve massive volumes of waste.
