5. What was the cost of clearing illegal dumping (also commonly known as fly dumping or fly tipping) to your authority during the whole of last year (i.e. 2020)
The cost for the removal of fly-tips is incorporated into the authority’s waste and street cleaning contract. As such it is not possible to separate out a cost for this specifically, as fly-tip clearances are undertaken in conjunction with other services, such as litter bin emptying and collecting domestic refuse.
