As the owner of the waste you have a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent someone fly-tipping it. If the rubbish is fly-tipped and it can be traced back to you, you can be fined as the rogue waste carrier is always nearly impossible to trace.

Fly-tipping is not just a criminal matter where somebody is taking your hard earned money and promising to dispose of your waste correctly, when in fact they just dump it around the corner in a field; it's also damaging our environment.
