This document provides an excellent summary of the law as it relates to fly-tipping.>

Over one million incidents of fly-tipping were recorded in England and Wales over 2004/2005, an average of 88,500 per month. The illegal dumping of waste has cost local authorities in excess of £44m to clear up. However these are only the reported costs – if all fly-tips were recorded, the actual costs would be in the vicinity of as much as £100m – £150m per annum.
