Duncan Lewis, Crime Solicitors, £1,098 fine for dumping controlled waste metres from council household recycling centre

Buckinghamshire County Council has prosecuted a man from Maidenhead for illegally dumping controlled waste just metres from the council’s household waste recycling centre.

Artur Woszcyna, 25, of Clare Road in Maidenhead was interviewed by officers from the Waste Partnership for Buckinghamshire – and admitted one offence of fly tipping, after waste was found illegally dumped in Crow Piece Lane in Burnham on 19 August 2015, only a couple of hundred metres from the county council’s household waste recycling centre on the same road.

On Wednesday, 20 January, Woszcyna pleaded guilty at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court to an offence of illegally dumping controlled waste.

He was ordered to pay a £725 fine, with £300 in costs – and was also ordered
to pay a £73 victim surcharge, with a total bill of £1,098.

The Waste Partnership launched the Illegal Dumping Costs campaign in October 2003, to combat illegal dumping and waste management offences in Buckinghamshire.

Since then, the partnership has secured more than 500 convictions against individuals and companies for illegal dumping and related offences, with an average of one conviction per week.
