A Denbighshire business received a £300 fine for illegal waste disposal practices
Denbighshire: A business has been fined for illegal waste disposal. They received a £300 fixed penalty notice from Denbighshire County Council. This was due to breaching their duty of care regarding waste management.
The council’s environmental crime team found a fly tipping site in Llanynys. They traced the dumped items back to the business in Flintshire. This discovery led to the fine.
Cllr Barry Mellor, the council’s environment and transport lead, emphasized the importance of proper waste disposal. He reminded everyone that they must use licensed carriers for waste. Illegal dumping harms the environment, and everyone shares the responsibility to prevent it.
The penalty shows the council’s commitment to responsible waste handling. They will pursue anyone involved in fly tipping, no matter the size of the incident. The council is serious about tackling this issue across the county.
