A fly-tipper who illegally dumped the contents of a garage into an estate’s residential bin room has been slapped with a large fine.

Mohammed Naz Khan, 35, of Ripplegate Walk, Barking, was spotted emptying the bulky contents of a garage storage room into a residents’ bin area on the Ray Lodge Estate, Woodford Green.

The incident was recorded on security TV and was reported to the Redbridge Enforcement Team.

The footage showed Khan and another man make approximately 100 trips to the garage storage area, carrying and disposing of bulky waste items into the residents’ household bin room.

At Barkingside Magistrates’ Court, Khan admitted that he and his brother had disposed of the waste from his late father’s garage storeroom, as he was selling the property.

He admitted seeing very clear signage at the bin room, warning residents not to dispose of any bulky items in the household waste bins.

The haul ranged from tools, work benches and a roof aerial, to satellite TV accessories, toilet, garden tools, and even laminate flooring.

Mohan Khan admitted helping his brother to dump the waste items.

Both men pleaded guilty to fly-tipping. Each had to pay a fine of £1,384, Redbridge Council costs of £417.50 and a victim surcharge of £138, totalling £1,939.75.

The leader of Redbridge Council, Cllr Jas Athwal, said: “Our residents deserve to live in a clean and safe environment, which is why we take a zero-tolerance stance against this type of grime crime.

“Our message is simple, those who choose to ruin our local environment will be caught and they will face the consequences of their selfish behaviour.”

Cllr John Howard, cabinet member for civic pride, said: “People who behave illegally should not think they will get away with it. Our enforcement team will track you down and you will end up in court and paying a fine. Fly-tipping is anti-social and affects residents’ quality of life, and we will not tolerate it in Redbridge.”
