A man from Huntingdon has been prosecuted for fly-tipping and ordered to pay £3,800 in costs and fines.
Mr Steven Jabbar of Robertson Way, Huntingdon, was found guilty of the fly-tipping offence at Peterborough Magistrates Court on September 6.
Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) investigated the reported fly-tip on Priory Hill, St Neots, in July 2021.
The waste was traced back to a commercial business that highlighted the individual who was given the responsibility for taking the waste and deposing it correctly.
Instead, he dumped the waste on public land.
Jabbar was fined £2000, made to pay £1800 in costs to the HDC and disqualified from driving for 28 days.
Executive Councillor Customer and Transactional Services, Cllr Stephen Ferguson, said: “This is yet another successful prosecution which shows that we will not give up chasing fly-tippers and will bring them to justice.
“It costs the council a lot of money to collect and dispose of fly-tips.
“This prosecution is another example of our commitment to keeping the District clean and green.”
