Builder Fined Over £1,000 for Illegal Waste Dump
28 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Man fined over £1,000 for dumping construction waste on public land.
- Waste disposal incident occurred over two years ago, in April 2023.
- The waste was traced to a construction job contracted to his company.
A Manchester resident has been ordered to pay over £1,000 in fines and costs for illegally dumping a substantial amount of construction waste on public land. The incident took place on April 17, 2023, when a large pile of debris was discovered next to a footpath on Altrincham Road, the same road where the man resides.
Investigators were able to trace the origin of the dumped waste to a nearby property undergoing renovations. It was revealed that the construction work, which generated the waste, was contracted to the man's building company, Builder Boys Ltd. This discovery led to the man's guilty plea for the illegal waste disposal.
The court imposed a £320 fine, £750 for the costs associated with illegal dumping, and an additional £128 victim surcharge. Authorities emphasized that fly-tipping is a selfish and damaging crime that negatively impacts communities and the environment, costing taxpayers money for cleanup operations.
