A Port Talbot man who dumped three loads of waste at a cemetery has been ordered by a court to pay thousands of pounds. Pawel Mieczyslaw Samselski was found to have dumped household waste including black bags, parcel boxes, and carpeting on land at Goytre Cemetery on separate occasions earlier this year.
Samselski, 50, of Emroch Street, Port Talbot was discovered after complaints were received and Neath Port Talbot Council waste enforcement officers found the waste originated from householders in Newport and Cardiff who had either used Samselski’s services previously or responded to removal advertisements on Facebook from an alias of his, Paul Max.
A Facebook site under the name 'Paul Madmax' was discovered offering removal services featuring a van with a logo on its side. The same van was later discovered close to Samselski's home in Goytre and he admitted the removal and depositing of the waste found at the cemetery. He also accepted he did not have a waste carrier licence.
