Fly-tipping. A true story....

[Cozzer]

Don't think I've ever seen the film, but it was one of the first things I learnt to almost play on the guitar.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Steve Martin in The Jerk, saying "I didn't wanna get spit on me"?

Don't believe so, John, although it's a long time ago!
The pal who suggested going to see it also recommended going to see "W R: Mysteries of the Organism" about the same time.

Thankfully, I haven't seen said "pal" in the last 30 years...

Reminds me many years ago ,I was combining ia field beside the road. Came across a pile of rubbish obviously thrown over the ditch.
I phoned the council, who said it wasn't their concern as it was on private property.
I told the young lady ,that this conversation hadn't taken place.
Rang back , half-hour later to report large pile of rubbish on the road beside my field... "Oh we'll send someone out to collect it!!!!
Even better, I rooted through the bags and found an Ryanair ticket stub to Poland. With name on it. Looked in Facebook and discovered 4 similar names---- with one living only 12 miles away! The rest in Poland.
Rang the Environmental Officer with the information. She was delighted, and final comment was " I'm glad I don't have you for an enemy"

Never found out what happened.

If you deposit junk left at yours to the originators address are you guilty of fly tipping?

Nope. Just returning lost property to the owners. Should get a reward from them for being a good Samaritan.
