Jamie Hancey, from Rokesby Road in Slough, was found to have dumped a fridge, a freezer, a mattress and two cardboard boxes in Burnham.
The 36-year-old was given a 26-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, after he dumped the waste in Crow Place Lane in February.
The offender dumped the fridge and freezer during the night on February 2. He then returned to the same place on February 10 to dispose of the mattress and boxes.
Hancey had denied two charges of depositing controlled waste without an environmental permit and was due for a summary trial at Wycombe Magistrates’ Court. He was then found guilty after he failed to turn up for his trial.
On August 4, Hancey was ordered to pay £2,922 costs by the magistrates, on top of the suspended sentence.
Thomas Donovan, 40, of Waspeys Wood Caravan Site in Gerrards Cross was fined just £300 when he was caught fly tipping on three separate occasions.
On November 11, 2019, Donovan tipped a mixed load of building work waste in Andrew Hill Lane in Hedgerley. He also dumped more mixed building waste in the same spot on the same day.
On November 20, 2019, he went and dumped more building waste in St Huberts Lane, Gerrards Cross.
