Jayson Stanley, a tree care company director from Wendover has been hit with an eight month prison sentence after pleading guilty to fly-tipping in Buckinghamshire.
The 37-year old was sentenced at Aylesbury Magistrates Court after admitting to illegally dumping green waste during 2004 and 2005.
Mr Stanley’s sentence was suspended for two years but he has been served with a 200 hour community punishment order, given a fine of £3,000 and ordered to pay costs of £8,000.
Waste Partnership for Buckinghamshire and the Environment Agency have been working alongside one another for the past few years to catch fly tippers in the area. Surveillance cameras were installed in Wendover in late 2003 and Acacia Tree Care vehicles were caught dumping tree waste on several occasions between January and July 2004.
Then on 31 May 2005 passer-by witnessed an Acacia truck dumping green waste along Leather Lane, Great Missenden and reported the incident to the council.
John Warder, Chairman of the waste committee for Buckinghamshire spoke of how pleased he was that the clampdown on tipping is working, “Despite a very early morning dumping in a remote area, this proved to be another fine example of the public working with the authorities to combat fly-tipping.”
