A man has been ordered to pay £2,600 after admitting fly-tipping waste in Swinfen.

Adam Hamilton, from Elford Grove in Marston Green, admitted three offences under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 at Cannock Magistrates’ Court.

The 36-year-old had dumped household waste on Barkers Lane on 12th August 2023\. The rubbish, which blocked the road, included a bed, mattress, pushchair and cardboard.

Environmental health officers from Lichfield District Council traced the items back to an address in Rugeley where Hamilton had been paid £190 to collect and dispose of them.

The magistrates ordered him to pay a fine, victim surcharge and costs totalling £2,621.30\. 

A spokesperson for Lichfield District Council said:

> “Hamilton showed complete disregard for the environment and is now paying the price.   
>  
> “Local people need to be careful who they give their waste to – check that they are a registered waste carrier, ask where the waste will be taken to, and record their name, contact details and the vehicle that they use.   
>  
> “Residents may not be aware that they could face prosecution if the council’s environmental health officers visit and they are not in possession of the details.”
