Fly-Tipper Who 'Forgot To Put Out The Bins' Given £600 Fine A Thetford resident who fly-tipped twice in the same scenic area of Breckland has been fined £600 and warned a further incident could result in a court appearance. As part of an investigation by Breckland Council, the fly-tipper said he had forgotten to put out his household bins, therefore decided to fly-tip the household waste in scenic woodland on the Kilverstone Estate in Thetford. However, the council's Enforcement Team tracked down the culprit, who later admitted to not only dumping the household waste but also to later returning to fly-tip laminate flooring from DIY renovations. The resident was issued a £600 fixed penalty notice fine by Breckland Council, which could increase to £800 if not paid promptly. The money will be used to fund future investigations and enforcement action. In addition, the culprit has agreed to write a letter of apology to the landowner and agreed to clear up the waste.
conducted a quick investigation and, with the support of the landowners, modern technology and the public, the culprit has been identified and received a sizeable fine. We have a zero tolerance approach to fly-tipping in Breckland and I hope this experience will make this resident and others, seriously think twice about fly-tipping in our community."
