'He said it was his intention to give it to a friend to dispose of, but his friend let him down and he had no alternative but to tip the waste.”
Mohammed Iftakar, of Ollerdale Close, Allerton, admitted failing to ensure a person who he had paid to dispose of their waste – Jamil – was a legitimate waste disposal worker.Enis Rice, prosecuting on behalf of Bradford Council, said fly tipping was a major problem, with the Council called to 45 such incidents every day.
When interviewed Iftakar said he had paid Jamil £500 to dispose of the business waste, and admitted he failed to check if he was a registered waste trader. Magistrates were told that Iftakar had been assured the waste would be disposed of legally, and was “thoroughly ashamed” to appear in court.Alistair Vigus, chair of the bench, said: “This bench takes a dim view of fly tipping. In this case short cuts had been taken, whether to reduce costs or to make a financial gain.”Mr Vigus said the photos of the fly tipping showed plastic strapping in the waste, and raised concerns that animals could get trapped in this waste.
