"On further inspection the Officer found a cardboard box which had a business address label attached to it.

"He also stated that he has a waste disposal licence and only placed the waste outside the garages there, unaware that he was fly tipping."

The trader had a waste disposal licence for his business, however they failed to comply with its disposal resulting in a fly tipping offence. The amount of the fixed penalty is £200, however the fine was reduced to £120 and was ordered to be paid within 14 days.
