They had no idea he was dumping their waste illegally.
Leeds City Council has announced it has successfully prosecuted a man responsible for several flytipping offences across Yorkshire.
SECT officers originally discovered a huge pile of household waste, rubble and tiles off Crag Lane in Alwoodley. It was discovered the rubbish had belonged to a resident in Garforth - when officers interviewed the resident it was found they had paid £120 to a company called Total Waste and Recycling to dispose of it.
That company was later found to have strong links to Clayton, of School Street in Castleford. Officers searched Clayton's social media, where he was promoting the company, and the business phone number also linked to him. Wakefield Council contacted officers during the investigation because household waste had been illegally dumped at the Leeds 4x4 Centre in Rothwell. The vehicle that took the waste was owned by Clayton, and was also part of an investigation into household waste dumped on Oakenshaw Lane in Wakefield also from a vehicle owned by Clayton.
