\n Michelle Simmons, from Hull, was prosecuted after a large amount of waste was found dumped at Tibthorpe High Woods, near Driffield.\n<\/p>\n
\n She pleaded guilty at Beverley Magistrates’ Court on August 19 to failing in her duty of care regarding the disposal of waste.\n<\/p>\n
\n RECOMMENDED READING:\n<\/p>\n
\n The fly-tipped rubbish included electrical items, household waste, children\u2019s toys and other domestic materials.\n<\/p>\n
\n Evidence found at the scene led officers from East Riding of Yorkshire Council to trace the waste back to Simmons.\n<\/p>\n
\n She was fined \u00a380 and ordered to pay \u00a3150 in costs and a \u00a332 victim surcharge.\n<\/p>\n
\n Councillor Lyn Healing, East Riding of Yorkshire Council\u2019s cabinet member for communities and public protection, said: “It is essential to ensure that waste is only disposed of via the correct legal channels, either through bin collections or at household waste recycling sites. “We are dedicated to investigating reports of fly tipping, and taking robust action against offenders whenever possible.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The council reminded residents that they are responsible for ensuring their waste is disposed of legally, either through household bins or by taking larger items to recycling centres.\n<\/p>\n
\n For bulky waste, residents can use the council\u2019s collection service or hire a licensed waste carrier.\n<\/p>\n
\n Fly-tipping or suspicious activity can be reported to the council by calling 01482 393939 or online at eastriding.gov.uk\/fly-tipping.\n<\/p>\n
\n Details on checking licensed waste carriers and recycling site locations are available on the council\u2019s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michelle Simmons, from Hull, was prosecuted after a large amount of waste was found dumped at Tibthorpe High…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":748431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-748430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/748431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
