Three found guilty of dumping waste pay the price

Three people who have been found guilty of discarding of waste on the streets of West Northamptonshire have been ordered to pay £5,870 collectively.

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) officers work hard alongside our waste collection partners to keep our areas clean and green. When fly tipping or littering offences occur, we will take action against offenders in line with our enforcement policy. This week alone there have three cases where people were held to account for the impact their carelessness has had on the environment.

Mr Umit Bilgin, aged 43 of Patterdale Walk, Northampton attended court on 6 June and pleaded guilty after he was linked back to dumped household and construction waste in Spectacle Lane, Moulton which is a rural hot spot area for fly-tipping crime. Bilgin had to pay out £3,350 for fly-tipping and not complying with his duty of care for disposing of household waste properly.
