The council has revealed that thousands of pounds worth of fines have been issued to fly-tippers across the district.
Residents and traders are being warned that dumping waste illegally will not be tolerated and offenders may face a fee or prosecution.
More than £3,000 in penalties were handed out to those in Fenland, for leaving household waste and trade materials in public places.
Three women were each issued with £400 fixed penalty notices in March this year, after leaving their household waste on a street in Wisbech.
Despite the residents being told the correct way to get rid of unwanted stuff, items belonging to them were found dumped in an alleyway.
Also in Wisbech, a man who was spotted piling rubbish from a house into West Street Car Park during May last year had to pay a total of £530.
He had initially been issued with a £400 fixed penalty notice but, after failing to pay, he was summoned to court.
A warrant was then issued for his arrest when he did not appear, and in court on Tuesday, March 19 he was ordered to pay a total of £530.
Another man involved in the same incident was dealt with in August and had to pay £1,010.
In Spalding, one resident received a £300 fine for failing to provide evidence that he disposed of trade waste legally.
The man was suspected to be involved in a fly-tip in Treading Bank, Wisbech, which blocked a rural road in January 2023.
When officers eventually tracked down the rogue trader, they asked to see records showing he had taken the waste he was collecting as part of his business to an official waste site - which he was unable to provide.
Fenland District Council portfolio holder for refuse and cleansing, parks and open spaces Cllr Peter Murphy said: “We will not tolerate fly-tipping in the district.
“If you do it, expect to be found and fined.
“The district council provides excellent services for waste disposal, there is no excuse for dumping illegally.”
Residents can take household waste to a Cambridgeshire County Council recycling centre for free, or the district council’s bulky waste service can collect several larger household items from outside your home at a fixed fee.
