Two fly-tippers from Peterborough have been fined at court.
Jaroslav Kocko admitted paying a company to take household waste, without checking whether they were licensed.
The waste was later found in Oxney Road and traced back to him by officers.
At Peterborough Magistrates' Court, Kocko was ordered to pay a fine of £400, costs of £200 and victim surcharge of £106.
Ivan Curtis also appeared before magistrates and admitted dumping garden waste in Newborough which was caught on one of the council's covert CCTV cameras.
He was ordered to pay costs of £499.45, a fine of £400 and a surcharge of £160.
Councillor Angus Ellis, cabinet member for environment and transport, said: “We are fully committed to tackling fly-tipping which is a blight on our communities and something we take extremely seriously.
“Whenever we obtain evidence of fly-tipping we will investigate and look to issue either a fine or secure a conviction in the courts.
“These recent prosecutions show that anyone considering dumping waste illegally can end up out of pocket, so we would urge residents not to run the risk.
“There are several ways to get rid of waste legally, such as by visiting the Household Recycling Centre in Fengate, using a licensed waste company or our bulky waste collection service.”
