Michal Stanek of Spring Bank, Hull, was prosecuted and ordered to pay £684.
CCTV cameras captured him dumping bags of household waste in a public grassed area near West Parade, Spring Bank, Hull.
Doug Sharp, head of waste management at Hull City Council, said:
“This action shows that we will not let people get away with fly-tipping in our city.
“Our CCTV and mobile cameras have led to these successful prosecutions, and shows that the council will continue to take a tough line on fly-tipping.
“Fly-tipping is extremely harmful to the environment and causes unnecessary cost to the council to clean it up.
“There are plenty of lawful ways to dispose of your waste in the city.”
To ensure waste is not fly-tipped, residents are advised to dispose and recycle household waste through regular kerbside collections, or to contact Hull City Council to dispose of bulky waste.
Local waste and recycling sites remain open, subject to social distancing rules.
If you use a contractor, you should always ask to see a waste carrier’s licence, avoid paying cash and always ask for a receipt.
“If prices seems too good to be true, they probably are,” added a council spokesperson.
If waste is subsequently found fly-tipped, the resident could be fined or face prosecution
Residents can report fly-tipping by calling 01482 300300 or visiting the Hull City Council website, or visit the council’s Caught On Camera webpage to identify those caught illegally dumping waste.
