i grew up in a rather snooty town, and the police blotter from the town newspaper was reliably a riot. some kid who was a huge dick in middle school getting busted for grand theft auto because he didn't feel like walking down the street and so just drove someone else's car home instead
but, more relevantly, there was a reported incident in which some hair lady was witnessed shoving her house trash into trashcans at the town park. someone reported it, the police showed up to investigate, went through the trash bins, found her address on some paper, and showed up at her house. she explained that the dump was closed, so she just went there, and that she was very sorry and would never do it again.
one of my cow orkers recently moved to the town and i have introduced him to the police blotter

this is new brit vocab for me... fly tip? like, as in flying tip, and tip as in trash? as in trash flying out the back of the van? tip goes in a skip, and it's in the dustbin before that ?
i actually have trouble even thinking of the last time i saw that. however, the clods that clean lawns, it seems they delight in vacuuming up all the leaves and then driving off with them spewing out the top. more work for them later i suppose. the only thing they love than getting the leaves they've just cleaned up everywhere is parking in a way that blocks the street, or, even better, dangerously on a blind corner

that's actually not a huge problem where i am. people will leave stuff on the side of the road with a "free" sign, maybe post it on craigslist, then if it doesn't go, pay someone to cart it off. maybe it's an issue in other areas of the US; i don't know.
is getting rid of that stuff an issue over there? because americans generate a lot of trash and perhaps we just have a better knackered-sofa infrastructure
a decade ago i moved into a place and the previous tenants offered to sell me various bits and bobs. i mistakenly bought their aircon for $20; it smelled like diabetic urine when i turned it on. never turned it on again, and brought it to the snooty town dump -- though i was living a town over, i still had a sticker. i try to find where to drop it off, and some humorless fatty informs me it costs $20 to get rid of an aircon. the fact that this was what i paid to acquire it pissed me off immensely. i drove around the corner of a building and hastily unloaded it. this is, probably, my only noteworthy story of illegal dumping, and ironically, it was a dump. i was never caught.

yeah I don't know why its a problem here, we have loads of tradesmen who are probably doing up a house and are too lazy to take stuff to the dump

fly-tipping oddly comfortable as the opposite -- the inverse vector -- of fly-fishing, both in direction and scale

I reckon the reason why fly tipping is less prevalent in America is because the law is generally harsher on stuff like this, well I get that impression.

from the article it sounds like it's just local thugs with little oversight taking advantage of england's poor dump infrastructure

yes, exactly, especially in nicer areas. my story about the police going through the trash to find out who was responsible
so, yes, it's enforcement, but i also suspect it's logistics. england is much smaller, it's an island. the US has plenty of places to pool and manage trash before shipping it over to south america.
