A report by council officers said the repeated clean ups had put “pressure on the service”.
“The council assesses each site on its own merit and cannot always have a blanket approach to removal of this waste,” they added.
Each case should be investigated to establish any leads, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
“Resident participation in catching perpetrators of waste crime is essential, such as sharing information or assisting in the deployment of cameras,” officers said.
Nadia Hussain, Bradford East area co-ordinator, told the meeting that litter was “not people coming from outside to dump this waste”.
“It is sad to say but it is residents,” she said.
Groups carrying out litter picks will be given council equipment, she added.
The council report said the fly tipping would be investigated and followed up to catch the “perpetrators of waste crime”.
