I am writing an article about fly tipping in our area of Tandridge and the effect it is having on the environment.
I would like figures on the amount of fly tipping there has been in the UK, and specifically the south east of England, if possible, over the last ten years-February 2014 to February 2024.

Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold data relating to fly tipping.
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) are the lead department on waste. They publish statistics which may be helpful Fly-tipping statistics for England - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
For further information please contact Defra directly at defra.helpline@defra.gov.uk.
