Thousands of fly tipping incidents have been reported over the past year and the the majority of offenders are still getting away with it.
The latest figures from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) reveal 37,884 incidents of fly-tipping were recorded across the area in 2020/21 - the equivalent of more than four every hour.
The number is up from 31,362 reports of illegally-dumped rubbish in 2019/20, and 30,970 cases the year before that.
