Local authorities in England dealt with 1.15 million fly-tipping incidents last year - a 6% rise on the previous 12 months.
A Sky News investigation has tracked down some of those behind the dumping of people's waste illegally and discovered how they are making thousands of pounds from it.
On today’s episode, Niall Paterson speaks to Adam Parker, Sky’s OSINT editor, on how he found out who was behind discarding huge amounts of waste in a farmer’s field by analysing open source data, including their TikTok feed.
Niall also talks to news correspondent Rachael Venables about her confrontation with a suspected fly-tipper and what's being done to tackle the problem.
