Man fined for dumping black bags at Brynamman
A man has been fined £75 for dumping two black bags at the recycling site in Brynamman.
Council environmental enforcement officers issued the fixed penalty notice to a resident of Morriston, Swansea.
Documentation was found in the bags which helped them to catch the offender.
Failure to pay could lead to prosecution in the magistrates court and a maximum penalty of up to £2,500.
Unfortunately, fly-tipping is becoming an increasing problem at recycling sites across the county. Only recyclable waste should be taken to the sites.
Executive Board Member for Environmental and Public Protection Cllr Jim Jones said: “These sites are important facilities for communities and it is very disappointing that they are being misused in this way. This will not be tolerated and anyone caught dumping rubbish will be prosecuted.”
Residents are being urged to put their waste into the recycling banks and not leave it on the ground.
The banks are emptied regularly but if they are full then people should take their waste home until they are serviced or use an alternative recycling site nearby.
