A woman who dumped car parts, a child’s toy car and waste in an alleyway has been fined.
Officers from East Riding Council found evidence among the fly-tip site which led to the prosecution of the culprit.
She has now been fined £400 for dumping the bags of rubbish at the back of houses in Weatherill Street, Goole, before Christmas.
Mike Featherby, head of street scene services at the council, said: “This is the latest fine to be issued by the council following our recent campaign to tackle fly-tipping and littering in Goole.
“The council will take similar action against anyone found to be leaving waste illegally in the streets and back alleys of Goole.
“As part of the campaign, households in the worst affected areas were given clear information on how to dispose of their waste legally and local residents have been visited by our enforcement officers.”
The Goole woman admitted fly-tipping some of the waste and was issued with a £400 fixed penalty notice from the council.
The council continues to warn residents they are responsible for disposing of their own waste properly and legally.
Residents can either take their waste to their local household waste recycling site, hire a licensed waste carrier to take the rubbish away, or use the council’s own bulky waste collection service.
Anyone caught fly-tipping could be ordered to pay a £400 fixed penalty notice, or if the case goes to court they could face an unlimited fine or even imprisonment.
A fixed penalty notice gives offenders the opportunity to discharge liability for the offence but can only be issued when they admit the offence, otherwise the issue may be taken to court.
