<P> Illegal dumping, also called fly dumping or fly tipping, is the dumping of waste illegally instead of using an authorised method such as kerbside collection or using an authorised rubbish dump . It is the illegal deposit of any waste onto land, including waste dumped or tipped on a site with no licence to accept waste . </P> <P> Illegal dumping is typically distinguished from littering by the type and amount of material and / or the manner in which it is discarded . An example of littering could be throwing a cigarette on the ground . However, emptying a rubbish bin with no permission in a public or private area can be classified as illegal dumping . </P> <P> The term fly tipping is derived from the verb tip, meaning "to throw out of a vehicle", and on the fly, meaning "on the wing"--to throw away carelessly or casually . </P> <P> Garbage disposal in the UK is heavily regulated, with most households being allowed to only dispose of one 0.2 cubic metres bin of recyclable waste and one similar bin of non recyclable waste every week . Any additional garbage (for example: old furniture and mattresses) must be taken to the landfill by the house owner at their own expense . This has led to many people simply leaving their garbage in open public spaces or untended public gardens . This is also called fly tipping . </P>
