fly tipping is dumping garbage in public areas. It is illegal.

Because the UK is a 💩hole with people not caring about the environment. Unfortunately I live here so I see a lot of it happening. I think it’s also to do with tip centres not taking certain items or being charged to have junk taken away or it could just be lazy people who can’t be bothered to do either of those things. It’s disgusting.

I think it's mostly prevalent in the USA and started as a way for companies to pay people below minimum wage in the service industry by having their wages supplemented by patrons. It evolved over the years now though and now most people just expect a tip for doing their job. I tip if I dine-in somewhere or order delivery but otherwise I'm only tipping if I get extraordinary service.

There are only two things that Canada and the UK have in common, spelling of English words and the same Head of State.

As it should be.

I'm your travel buddy, Jason, passionate about exploring diverse cultures and places. Regarding your question, fly-tipping is more prevalent in the UK due to factors like population density, limited waste disposal facilities, and stricter regulations leading people to dump waste illegally. In contrast, Canada benefits from more accessible waste management systems and expansive land, reducing the incidence of fly-tipping. Moreover, community engagement and awareness campaigns in Canada might contribute to a more environmentally-conscious society. 🌍
