A FLY tipper who dumped rubbish on a road just outside Hereford has been fined by magistrates.

Nikoli Kremenov Karbov entered guilty pleas to one count of depositing controlled or extractive waste on land without an environmental permit, and one count of handling, controlling, or transferring controlled waste without taking reasonable measures when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford in November.

The court heard from the prosecutor that Karbov, who was represented at the hearing by defence solicitor Chris Read, had dumped controlled waste including a sofa, doors, radiators, wooden chairs, and bed frame, and other general waste on the C1226 at Callow in Herefordshire without an environmental permit between December 16 and January 4.

He had also failed to take all measures reasonable to ensure that controlled waste was transferred to an authorised person between the same dates.

Karbov, of Baysham Street, Hereford, was fined £583 for the offences, with magistrates saying they had taken his guilty pleas into account when imposing the penalty.

He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £354.25 and a £233 victim surcharge.
