A fly-tipper has been fined after admitting to dumping rubbish at a Dagenham bus stop.
The fly tip near the junction of Green Lane and Walnut Tree Road was reported by a resident last Thursday - February 10 - confirmed Barking and Dagenham Council.
Dumped rubbish included a light fitting, paintings, an airer and other homeware items.
A council enforcement officer who went to the reported location and inspected the fly tip found an address among the rubbish.
He carried out a doorstep interview at the property and, after a long discussion, the person at the address admitted to the fly tip.
The resident was handed a £400 fine and the dumped rubbish was cleared the same day, the council said.
Cllr Margaret Mullane, cabinet member for enforcement and community safety, said: "Sadly most fly-tips are similar to this case - people who live or work in the borough not disposing of rubbish at the tip or through a reputable collection service."
