No figure published for Barnsley (given under its old code, E08000016), Fylde (not published: Fylde provided 9 months of data for 2024/25, therefore an estimate of their fly-tipping incidents data for the remaining months has been made. The estimates are included in the national totals but not shown in this local-authority dataset.), Sheffield (given under its old code, E08000019).

Notes
- Fly-tipping incidents councils in England report to Defra through WasteDataFlow each financial year, all of them or by the land they were found on or the main kind of waste.
- Most councils count every incident; some count only those the public reports, and the table says so beside their figures. Defra says counts on different bases are not comparable.
- Where Defra gives no figure for a council it says why in its notes; England's figure includes Defra's estimate for that council, which no council's or region's figure does.
- Barnsley's and Sheffield's figures are under the codes they had before 1 April 2025, as Defra gives them.
