West Bromwich residents handed hefty fines over illegally dumped waste
Two Sandwell householders have each been fined £400 after their waste was found dumped on the streets.
One resident in West Bromwich, who was witnessed by a member of the public dumping their waste and provided the enforcement team with information, was traced and admitted the offence and was issued with a £400 fixed penalty notice for fly-tipping.
Another resident, also from West Bromwich, who said she paid a ‘man and van’ £150 to take away rubbish was also fined £400 after the waste was dumped in Bilhay Lane and traced back to her.
The resident did not follow in her duty of care, so was issued with a £400 fixed penalty notice.
Sandwell Council is reminding residents and businesses “If it’s your waste, it’s your responsibility”.
