Watch the CCTV footage that landed fly-tipping minicab driver in court 51-year-old admitted dumping eight other bags - but claimed they'd been left by his car while he was shopping A minicab driver fined for dumping two bags of rubbish on a Salford street admitted in court he had left EIGHT other bags at the same spot. Basmarat Ahmed has been hit with a bill of £1,567 after he was caught on film dumping two bin bags of builder’s waste. Ahmed, of Esmond Road, Cheetham Hill, claimed someone dumped one bin bag full of rubbish on his car bonnet and another in front of his car while he was shopping. But instead of putting the rubbish in a bin or skip, he drove seventy yards to hurl it against a fence and leave it lying in the street. Ahmed, 51, pleaded guilty to dumping the two bags on Thursday December 10th 2015, at Dickinson Street, Salford and also admitted dumping a further eight bin bags of controlled waste at the same location, when he appeared at Salford and Manchester magistrates court. He was fined £700 and ordered to pay costs and compensation of £797 with a victim’s surcharge of £70. The court heard that a mobile patrol spotted the heavy duty bin bags in the street, partially blocking the pavement and posing a trip hazard to passers by. Salford council’s CCTV team captured footage of Mr Ahmed taking two bags from the boot of his minicab and throwing them hard against the fence before driving away and leaving them there. When interviewed, Mr Ahmed said he parked his car on the corner of Sherborne Street and Bury New Road and walked into one of the warehouses for phone covers. When he came back, one bin bag was in front of the car and one on the bonnet of the car. He told officers that instead of leaving the bags in the street there he drove to Dickinson Street and dumped the bags alongside other rubbish. He said if he had known he would be caught on camera he would have put the rubbish in a friend’s skip. Speaking after the case, Councillor David Lancaster, lead member for environment and community safety, said: “Mr Ahmed should have done the responsible thing and put the rubbish in a bin not thrown it into a Salford street. I hope this makes people think twice before using the streets of Salford as a litter bin.” The council’s ongoing Operation Pandora has prosecuted 36 offenders have been prosecuted for 45 offences with total fines, costs and compensation of over £37,000.

Commercial yes but I think as a householder not usually inert waste such as building rubble attracts a lower rate of landfill tax or so i am told and this sounds like rubble from a small building project at home so wouldn't be treated as commercial |

To my mind this only encourages fly tipping. Our council have banned taxis/ph from using the waste centres. Builders were phoning cabs and getting them to take their trade waste to the tip, for the fare plus a little extra. Some were even meeting the taxi 100yds from the depot, unloading their bags of rubble from the van into the boot of the cab and then giving the driver £3 just to take it the 100yds to the depot. |

More and more councils are doing this. |

The council should take the waste to his house, open the front door and dump the lot in his living room. Mind you it might make it smell better. |

Down here we have big black communal bins in which you can put most things. I quite sure there must be places he could legally dump his rubbish for free. The fella must be a bit thick. |
