The main ‘household’ categories for fly tipping waste include ‘black bag – household’ and ‘other household waste’, which could include the results of house or shed clearances, old furniture, carpets and the waste from small scale DIY works. There are also separate categories for white goods, electrical items and green waste which may originate from household or commercial sources. It is not possible to distinguish the original source. Incidents for these are much lower than the other two household categories so for this purpose the figures below do relate just to ‘black bags – household’ and ‘other household’ incidents.
The proportion of fly tipping incidents reported by local authorities and published in annual statistics on a financial year basis, that contain household waste for these two main categories is summarised in the table below. The detailed breakdown is only available from 2012/13.
Year | Barnsley | South Yorkshire* | All England |
2012/13 | 71% | 80% | 67% |
2013/14 | 66% | 76% | 66% |
2014/15 | 66% | 67% | 66% |
2015/16 | 78% | 72% | 67% |
2016/17 | 77% | 69% | 67% |
2017/18 | 70% | 62% | 66% |
