The council said its community safety team is investigating to find the rogue trader after a second fly-tip was discovered in Sutton‑in‑Ashfield, which was linked to the fly-tip in Kirkby‑in‑Ashfield.
Wilmott said: “This is an unfortunate case of a resident trying to do the right thing.
“Unfortunately, everyone has a duty of care to dispose of their waste responsibly and this includes using a legitimate business.
“Fly-tipping is a blight on our environment and communities and these rogue traders are taking advantage of residents who don’t realise what they intend to do.
“There is no excuse for fly-tipping in Ashfield, and we will use our full powers to trace and fine any individual who disposes of their waste illegally”.
