# Fly-tipping costs taxpayers £58m in clean-up costs
In October 2017 we [reported that over one million incidents of fly-tipping were dealt with by councils in England in 2016-17](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-41664941), costing taxpayers £58m to clear up. It was the fourth year in a row that incidents increased. The story was based on newly released data from DEFRA.
In addition, data journalist Dan Wainwright took part in a Q&A piece, [Fly-tipping: What you wanted to know](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-41685102) which included additional visualisation
