FAILURE to take his bins out on the right day cost a man £75, after council enforcement officers caught him dumping black bag waste at a recycling point.
When Carmarthenshire County Council environmental officers found the man dumping a black bag at the recycling banks in Laugharne, he said that he had missed his household bin collection.
Failure to pay the fixed penalty notice could lead to a court prosecution.
Executive Board Member for Environmental and Public Protection Cllr Jim Jones said: “These sites are important facilities for communities to recycle, but people are dumping all kinds of rubbish.
“This will not be tolerated and hopefully this will act as a warning that anyone caught will be fined.”
