A MAN has been ordered to pay £617 over the illegal dumping of household waste and a plastic children's paddling pool on a country lane near the outskirts of an East Yorkshire town.
A streetscene enforcement officer from East Riding of Yorkshire Council tracked the rubbish back to a couple who had paid Mark Mills to dispose legally of their waste.
But instead of being taken to a household waste dump, Beverley magistrates heard, the rubbish was dumped in Shepherd's Lane, Beverley.
Mills, of The Queensway, Hull, pleaded guilty to failing to check that he was using an authorised waste carrier and was fined £320 with £267 prosecution costs and a £30 statutory surcharge.
He told the court he had been unable to take it to a household waste dump and had given it to some travellers instead.
The fly-tipping was reported to the county on January 10, 2017.
