A woman has been ordered to pay nearly £5,000 after waste was fly-tipped in two country lanes.
Brydie Deeprose, of Milton, Sittingbourne, organised the removal of household items that were later found around Faversham.
Despite not being a licensed waste carrier Ms Deeprose advertised her waste removal services on the Nextdoor app.
She was messaged by a resident and arranged for two unknown men to attend and clear their property’s garden of rubbish.
The collection was later found fly-tipped in Newnham Lane, Eastling and Bottom Pond Road, Milstead.
As the broker in this transaction, she failed in her requirements under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) to make sure the waste is transferred to an authorised person.
She also did not cooperate with Swale Borough Council’s (SBC) investigation and, was convicted at Sevenoaks Magistrates' Court after failing to attend on October 5.
