would have to be paid for by rates/community charge/whatever but it
would be worth it to stop this appalling scourge on our countryside.

And there's the rub. Something must be done - but no one wants to pay
for
it.

but we are paying for it anyway

Some though are paying more than others, Restrict the times, close a
waste center and start charging for some waste then the County
Councils who run most of them via contractors can point out that the
operation is costing less and they are saving money. Meanwhile the
fly tippers are dumping the waste where a district council has to
clean it up so the costs now fall on them, or if it is dumped on
private land the cost falls on the landowner.
Another stunt that is being pulled is leaving stuff like old broken
furniture or childrens old garden toys etc outside charity shops
though the condition of the items is such that they can not be reused
or sold. So the shops have to pay for disposal.



the question is, what's the cheapest way to pay for it

Via central government so you don't pit one tier of lesser government
against another. And start putting a levy on take away food and drink
containers that just might make the coffee shops and fast food

I honestly don't think that a 10 (or even 20)p levy on a 5 pound (plus)
takeaway is going to make the slightest difference
