One black bag and 10 shopping bags were found by the team as fly-tipped waste on a public path between Shoreditch Close and Barnett Close underpass in east Hull. In the bags was waste relating to Naomi Hayward, aged 22 of Shoreditch Close.
An Environmental Neighbourhood Nuisance Officer investigated and tried to contact Ms Hayward several times. After Ms Hayward failed to respond the council served a notice under section 108 of the Environment Act 1995.
On 7 January, Ms Hayward was found guilty in her absence under section 110(2) a) of the Environmental Act 1995 (failing to comply with any requirement imposed and thereby preventing an officer to carry out his duties) at Hull Magistrates Court.
Ms Hayward was fined £400, costs of £175 and a victim surcharge of £15 bringing the total to £590.
Councillor John Hewitt, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhoods and Communities, said:
“Residents must take care when disposing of waste whether they do this themselves or via a waste carrier. If using a waste carrier, residents must ensure they are fully licensed.
“We have three recycling centres across the city and a household collection services where waste can be recycled and disposed of, so there are no excuses to fly-tip.”
