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).

Counts follow the size of the place, so the largest places tend to come first.

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.
