Jack Carroll was paid by two housewives who responded to his Facebook advertisement as a waste-remover – but on Tuesday was ordered to pay £829 in a fine, costs and compensation to Denbighshire council for fly-tipping.

The part-time doorman was told by court chairman Darren Campbell at Llandudno: "The £30 you were earning has cost you £829 – a harsh lesson.”

He pleaded guilty to fly-tipping on land at the side of a country road at Cwm, and at a field at St Asaph last November.

Delyth Crisp, prosecuting, said items such as a cot, cardboard boxes, blankets and a wooden chair were included in the items which were dumped.

Carroll, aged 22, of Cilgant Eglwys Wen, Bodelwyddan, who also admitted the unauthorised handling of waste, had acted without sophistication said his solicitor Andrew Hutchinson. Addresses of the women were displayed on some items, so it was easy to trace his involvement. However there was nothing hazardous involved and Carroll wished to apologise.

He hoped the case would not affect his licence as a part time doorman.

Carroll must carry out 120 hours of unpaid work under a 12-month community order.

The chairman told him: "Fly-tipping is a blight on our countryside.”
