Emma Barton, the council’s executive director for place and economic growth, said: “Everyone should dispose of their household waste properly – by putting it in the right bin, taking it to the tip or arranging for it to be collected by a licensed waste carrier.

“These prosecutions show the council will take action against those who don’t.”
