Two fly-tippers have been fined for illegally dumping waste in Leicester.
Environmental health officers at Leicester City Council successfully prosecuted the pair for separate offences.
Katrina Tature, of Gresley Close, Beaumont Leys, Leicester, was convicted of two offences, in April.
The 32-year-old abandoned three shopping trolleys full of household waste on a grass verge at the corner of Churchward Avenue, in Beaumont Leys.
When they were removed, she dumped another two.
Tature pleaded guilty to both offences at a hearing on Thursday.
She was fined £25 and ordered to pay £300 costs, plus a £15 victim surcharge.
Scott Lydon (35), of Autumn Road, Eyres Monsell, Leicester, was convicted after cutting down a tree outside his home and dumping it on a verge at nearby Ambleside Drive.
He admitted carrying out the offence on June 24, when he appeared before magistrates on November 30.
Lydon was fined £250 and ordered to pay £1,323 costs, plus a £15 victim surcharge.
Councillor Sarah Russell, assistant mayor for neighbourhood services, said: "Fly-tipping is one of the biggest blights on our communities.
"We are working extremely hard in order to bring these cases to court, so these convictions are part of the on-going work to keep our city clean."
