Fly tipper fined for dumping large conifer trees on Skegby land next to neighbours’ property
A fly tipper has been fined for dumping large conifer trees on Skegby land next to a neighbours’ property.
Ashfield District Council community protection officers investigated reports of waste conifer cuttings being dumped on land next to a residential property off Old Road.
Following the investigation, the culprit was identified and was subsequently found responsible for the fly-tipping on the land.
The resident responsible has now received a fixed penalty notice.
According to the council, it was the 80th fine for fly-tipping issued by the community safety team since April.
In a post on Facebook, a spokesman for Ashfield District Council, said: “It is your responsibility to dispose of your waste legally. You can take large items to the local recycling centres for free, or you can book a bulky waste collection from the council.”
