Watch fly-tippers caught on camera dumping rubbish on streets across Yorkshire city
The council’s Caught On Camera web page currently features 16 cases of fly tipping, with videos of everything from rubbish to furniture being dumped on the city’s streets. All those involved in the fly-tipping remain unidentified and are yet to be caught, and the council hopes people can help by spotting those captured on film.
Fly-tippers are liable for fines worth hundreds of pounds if caught and if their case goes before the courts they can face unlimited financial penalties and even jail time.

Hide AdAnd it is not just expensive for the culprits as council figures showed fly-tipping drained more than half a million pounds from city coffers in the year up to March.
Figures Hull Live received through a Freedom of Information request showed the amount of waste dumped in those 12 months was 955 tonnes and the cost of cleaning it up was £528,000.
The number of reports of fly-tipping increased year-on-year by almost 10,000 to 19,105 during that period, with dumping costing £1.95m since April 2017.
