A fly-tipper has been told to pay more than £1,000 after between 40 and 50 bin bags full of rotting food, nappies and other rubbish were left in a back alley.
Natasha Ferguson, 35, of Heber Street, Goole, was found guilty of leaving the waste in the alley between Heber Street and Kingston Street last year, East Riding of Yorkshire Council said.
Ferguson, 35, did not attend Hull Magistrates’ Court on 15 August where she was ordered to pay a £440 fine, costs of £350, compensation of £157 and a victim surcharge of £176.
Carl Skelton, director of Streetscene services at the council, said: “Fly-tipping is a serious offence that causes harm to the local community.”
