Two more fly-tippers who dumped household rubbish on the streets have been ordered to pay thousands of pounds.
In the first case Gabriella Andreea Rusu, 34, from Wexham Street, Slough, dumped two "significant" piles of waste on Black Park Road in Wexham and Seven Hills Road in Iver.
They were found by Bucks Council enforcement officers on December 2, 2021, and traced back to a house on Wexham Street, where Rusu lived.
According to court documents, the rubbish included broken up flatpack furniture, cardboard boxes, radiators, a fridge freezer, black bags of rubbish and other packaging.
Investigating officers later interviewed Rusu, the householder, under caution at Slough Police Station where she admitted dumping both piles of rubbish.
In a court hearing on May 4, Rusu was fined £933 and ordered to pay £1,000 towards council costs and a £93 victim surcharge - a total of £2,026.
On the same day, Wycombe Magistrates heard how Usman Ali Bukhari, of Pursers Court in Slough, dumped a small pile of household rubbish on Black Park Road - which was traced back to his home address.
The rubbish included cardboard boxes and other packaging.
Mr Bukhari was interviewed under caution and admitted dumping the rubbish.
He was given a £400 fixed penalty notice at the time of admitting the fly-tipping, which would have been reduced to £300 if paid within 14 days - however Mr Bukhari chose not to pay the penalty and so was summoned to court.
In court, magistrates ordered him to pay a fine of £300 and £400 towards the council’s costs as well as a victim surcharge of £34, making a total of £734.
Bucks Council said the majority of the waste that was dumped in both cases could have been taken to a household recycling centre for free.
Gareth Williams, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment said: “I’m really pleased that we have been able to bring two more criminals to justice for flagrantly breaking the law and fly-tipping in Buckinghamshire.
"We’ve said it before, and we will continue to say it until people listen and stop doing it – we have a zero-tolerance approach to fly-tipping in Buckinghamshire.
"These cases demonstrate what happens to those who ignore our warnings so once again, don’t fly-tip in Bucks or you will pay the price.”
