10:40am Friday 3rd February 2012
A man was told to pay costs of £640 after admitting a failure of duty of care when waste in his control was found dumped in Harwell.
Police arrested Jason Bennett, of York Road, West Hagbourne, after a warrant was issued when he failed to appear in court.
Oxford magistrates heard on Friday that the 37-year-old collected waste in Harwell and charged £15 to take it away in a trailer, which he claimed was then stolen. The waste was found dumped in a field.
He also admitted transporting waste for profit without a licence and was given a 12-month conditional discharge.
