People do get caught just not the guys who actually do it.
What normally happens is someone doing DIY or small building works will have bags of rubbish outside their house. A person in a clapped out white van will offer to dispose of the rubbish for £xxx (amount varies but it is less than the cost of disposing of it legally). Said person proceeds to flytip the rubbish wherever they can. When the council eventually comes to clear it they will sift through it and look for evidence of who did it and if they find a receipt will prosecute the person who has been duped into paying someone to flytip.
Meanwhile the government's idea for tackling this is to make it MORE expensive for businesses and homeowners to dispose of rubbish.
