This is the moment a brazen fly-tipper in a brightly-coloured Hawaiian shirt was caught dumping rubbish near a busy Tameside road. Charles Sutcliffe took money to remove waste on behalf of others, Tameside Magistrates Court heard.
Sutcliffe used his recently deceased wife's mobility vehicle to dump the waste and carried out the offence in an attempt to pay off debts. But after being tipped off by members of the community, he was rumbled by Tameside Council.
On March 7 last year, Sutcliffe dumped a sofa on June Street, Ashton - just metres away from the bustle of the A635 between Tameside and Manchester. A week later, on March 14, he dumped a single bed and builders’ waste on the same site.
