Fly-tipping is increasing and it is costing millions of pounds a year to clear up. It is happening across the UK - is it happening near you?
Domestic rubbish makes up about half of all fly-tipping.
But environmental groups say that more items like televisions or computers may be dumped by businesses trying to avoid recycling costs or landfill tax.
Dumping rubbish can result in large fines or even imprisonment. CCTV has helped to catch some culprits but the latest figures show that fewer than one in 2000 fly-tippers are prosecuted.
Have you seen any rubbish that has been dumped illegally recently? Is it an eyesore or causing a health hazard?
