OVERFLOWING RUBBISH: Rubbish container in El Badil Photo credit: Guardia Civil

A CANTORIA man of 55 has been fined for dumping furniture and other items in the El Badil neighbourhood.

Another resident in the rural area reported him to the Guardia Civil via the force’s online facility that allows members of public to file an anonymous complaint.

Officers sent to inspect the scene were confronted by a sofa, bedstead and mattress amongst other household objects, together with bags of domestic rubbish.

Once identified, the man admitted leaving the household articles but insisted that he was not responsible for the other rubbish piled up beside the communal container, although he still faces a fine for non-compliance with regulations for disposing of domestic garbage.

The Guardia Civil also reminded members of public that they could report suspected law-breaking on the www.guardiacivil.es website.
