Kym's court case took place today but she did not appear in court and was not represented by a solicitor, says the Manchester Evening News.
But the court was told Kym had admitted her guilt and agreed to pay costs of the clean-up.
Paul Scott, prosecuting for the council, said: "The defendant is charged with an offence contrary to the Environmental Protection Act 1990 commonly known as fly tipping.
"The city council has reviewed this case following detailed representations made by the defendant. After careful consideration, it is believed it would not be in the public interest to pursue the prosecution.
"The defendant has admitted her guilt to this charge by acccepting a simple caution."
He said Kym had accepted all the costs for the clean up and for bringing the case to the court.

*Cue Kym Marsh haters getting on High horse*
Why did she not have to attend court herself?
I have some sympathy for Kym Marsh. Somebody comes to the door and says I'll take that rubbish out the front away for £50, you think that'll save me going to the tip. I read that you're supposed to verify where these callers come from and get a receipt. It would probably be fake, anyway. Bet she wishes she'd shredded her script.
I have not seen any reports of Kym Marsh reporting the crime to the Police. According to her account she was the victim of fraud. Perhaps it was the same bloke who was seen at Myleene Klass's home. The police had no report of that either.
"fly tipping" is that akin to littering? Or unlawful dumping? I've never heard the phrase before.
This could happen to anyone so it’s easy to feel sorry for Kym but she really should have checked that the ‘man in a high viz jacket’ was registered the Environment Agency! There were 2,478 fly-tips in Salford last year but only 17 successful prosecutions. Further info here: Fly-Tipping Statistics
