Three People Fined For Littering At Recycling Banks
Three people have been fined £75 for littering next to the recycling banks in Ystradowen and Llanybydder.
Council environmental enforcement officers issued a fixed penalty notice to a man who left a cardboard box on the ground at the Ystradowen recycling site.
Further fixed penalty notices were also issued in Llanybydder; to a man seen leaving a cardboard box next to the recycling banks and to a man who left a blue bag on the ground.
Failure to pay could lead to court prosecution and a fine of up to £2,500.
There are no facilities for blue bags or to recycle cardboard at either of the sites.
Executive Board Member for Environmental and Public Protection Cllr Jim Jones is warning that anyone caught dumping rubbish will be fined.
He said officers were stepping up patrols and a number of recycling sites are covered by CCTV cameras.
#“These sites are important facilities for communities, but people are dumping all kinds of rubbish or are just too lazy to put them into the recycling banks,” added Cllr Jones.
“This will not be tolerated and anyone caught will be fined. Hopefully these latest fines will act as a warning to others.”
