Fine for fly-tipper who tried to pass blame after waste dumped
South Wales Evening Post
|June 06, 2025
A VAN driver has been fined after waste from a bathroom refurbishment project was found fly-tipped near a picnic area and beauty spot, a court has heard.
The driver was located after detective work by council officers
The defendant has been fined £153 and ordered to pay a further £1,500 in prosecution costs. A councillor has thanked the members of the public who provided information on the case for their "community-spirited action".
Swansea Magistrates' Court heard the waste was discovered on October 18, 2022, near the Mosshouse Woods reservoir off Fairyland Road in Neath when a number of people, who knew the area as a fly-tipping hotspot, became suspicious of the activities of a tipper-style van.
At the reservoir picnic site, the eagle-eyed members of the public found bathroom fittings and furniture including a broken toilet, a sink and shower screens, along with other items that had been dumped.
They passed on the information to Neath Port Talbot council's waste enforcement team.
