A man has been given a 12-month Community Order and ordered to pay more than £1,300 after illegally dumping waste at two locations in Charnwood.
A man pleaded guilty to fly-tipping at Leicester Magistrates’ Court following a prosecution by Charnwood Borough Council.
The court heard the Council received reports of waste being dumped on Whitcroft’s Lane in Ulverscroft and Barkby Thorpe Lane in Thurmaston in September 2025.
Magistrates sentenced the man to a 12-month Community Order, which includes 80 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay £1,224.44 in court costs, along with a £114 victim surcharge.
The Council says it takes fly-tipping seriously and continues to investigate reports of illegal waste dumping.
