A fly-tipper caught on camera dumping a washing machine near his home in Telford has been hit with a large fine.
Telford & Wrekin Council handed a £1,000 fine to the fly-tipper as part of continuing action to tackle the scourge of illegal waste dumping.
The fly-tip happened in March at a hotspot in Hurleybrook Way, Leegomery. The borough council traced the culprit and issued a £1,000 fixed penalty notice for fly-tipping which has been paid. “They could have taken it to either of our Household Recycling Centres which are free to use, or booked a bulky waste collection which is free or discounted for eligible residents.
