Is there a collective noun for fly-tippers?

My friend's theory is that the people that dump the rubbish are not the owners but more often a "Man with a van" offering to remove large amounts of rubbish from people with no transport for a few quid. Also seems like builders/tradesmen like to dump their rubbish around here (boxes of tiles, fridges, carpets, furniture)

Exactly this, in our area too

It doesn’t help when councils such as Leeds City Council will not permit access with a van or trailer, then wonder why quiet country lanes get fly tipped on

Totally barmy,it must cost more to send out a team to pick it up,just like the bed frame and mattress I had to report that I found in Stonegate Farm Close.

My parents area in mid Devon has always been bad for it. We've found half a ton of roofing slate dumped in a river. Countless fridges. But just last weekend an entire caravan was dumped in the entrance to a bridle path and set alight. Only by luck it didn't set fire to the surrounding trees and hedges.

What gets my goat is bin bags and garden rubbish. Theyve gone to all that effort loading up the car and sneaking out in the dead of night - surely it would have been easier and less stressful to drive it to the dump instead?

The problem being that the helpful guy with the lilting southern Irish accent doesn't have a car but a twenty year Transit so they're not gonna let him into the dump. Hence the illegal dumping.

My opening bid: a scrotum of fly-tippers

Scum 🤬

There’s one been dumped at the crossroads off the A59 between York & Harrogate where you would turn off the A59 to go to Tockwith industrial estate, formerly RAF Marston Moor, usually they’re stolen and robbed of all the interior parts, fridges,water heaters, battery chargers etc etc, usually by the same people who do your garden (badly) or can tarmac your drive with a wafer thin layer of tarmac for an extortionate fee

A midden of fly-tippers - apologies to our English readers.

I also think it's got worse since the dumps started charging for disposal of topsoil and aggregates.

A Viz?

A “****ing hell, really?” of flytippers, based on my usual response when coming across a pile.
