A fly-tipper who yelled 'send me the bill' after dumping his waste outside a Tameside tip has been hauled before magistrates. Craig Davenport visited the Ash Road household waste recycling centre in Droylsden to dispose of some garden waste in his trailer, Tameside Magistrates Court heard.
But when the 34-year-old was told by staff that he needed a permit to use the facility with a trailer, Davenport took matters into his own hands. After Davenport began transferring tree branches to his car, before going back and forth to the recycling centre, the tip had to temporarily close while a container was removed.
Tameside Council says Davenport was not happy about this and dumped the waste on Ash Road, driving off shouting: “Send me the bill.” Staff reported the incident to Tameside Council and provided CCTV footage, with footage showing the incident unfolding in the top-left corner of the video.
