A serial fly-tipper has been jailed after charging people for taking their rubbish and then dumping it in children's playgrounds and other people's driveways.
Dean Stanley, 37, used his white van to deliberately fly tip waste including electrical items, furniture, kitchen units, doors, beds, mattresses and building waste. He admitted to 17 counts of fly-tipping committed between March 2019 and January 2020 across Hillingdon, Sutton and Buckinghamshire.
Eyewitnesses and CCTV footage caught Stanley using his two distinctive Ford Transit tipper vans - one white, one red, in taking the waste and dumping the items in open green spaces. Councils across the boroughs of Hillingdon and Sutton, and the county of Buckinghamshire, joined forces to bring an end to Stanley's "deliberate and flagrant" campaign of dumping.
