I'm not sure what drives people to be so selfish as to just dump their rubbish in the road.

That being said, someone else had already reported it to the council by the time I got home 😺

NEATH: Fly-tipper ordered to pay £5,000+ after being caught by hidden camera

A company had been experiencing several cases of waste being illegally deposited near their entrance off the A4109 in Crynant, which included piles of interior wall rendering.

Due to how often it was happening, a CCTV trail camera was installed at the location which captured the culprit.

• Footage captured a vehicle entering the site where a person can be seen taking items from the boot of a car/vehicle and leaving them at the location before driving away.
   
• Within a few days, a man driving a Blue BMW was seen entering the site and taking containers out of the boot of the vehicle which were left on the verges of the track. An item was also thrown from the driver’s window of the vehicle.  
   
• Just a few days later between 3pm and 4pm, a man arrives in the same vehicle (blue BMW).  The male removed builder tonne bags from the boot of the car which he emptied at the site before driving off. 
   

The matter was reported to NPTCBC which prompted an investigation by Neath Port Talbot Council’s Waste Enforcement section.

DVLA checks on the vehicle showed the registered owner as a Mr Jurij Sarcenkov of Uplands Road, Bristol, BS16 4JU.  A Google Street View image from April 2025 shows a vehicle matching the description on the driveway of the address.

Over the Christmas period, the blue BMW was identified as being linked to a property in Neath Road, Crynant. where the driver was seen leaving the vehicle and entering the address. A Council Tax check on the address confirmed the property was linked to Mr. Sarcenkov, which he also confirmed during an interview under caution.

Also at the property, investigators found rendering waste in the front garden which matched the description of what had been disposed of near the company’s entrance. They also discovered builders’ bags in the garden to the side of the property.

Mr Sarcenkov – the registered owner of the vehicle involved – was interviewed by Waste Enforcement officers at Neath Civic Centre and gave ‘no comment’ answers to all questions.

On the 2nd April 2026 at Swansea Magistrates Court 40-year-old Jurij Sarcenkov from Uplands Road, Bristol, BS16 4JU, pleaded guilty to 3 offences contrary to s33 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. He must now pay the following sums:

• £1,000 fine for each offence (£3,000)
• £869.94 in costs
• £1,200 Victim Surcharge

Total: £5,069.94

NEATH: Man sentenced after knives and household waste fly-tipped in town hotspot

Investigators located several black bags on Foundry Road, adjacent to the steps linking to Meadow Road, in an area commonly known as Eaglesbush Valley and frequently used by nature lovers.

As the waste was being inspected, an individual in a Range Rover approached inspectors expressing frustration and using abusive language. Both Council officers left the area as the individual was entering their yard next to where the fly-tipping had occurred.

That individual was later identified as 26-year-old Arron Dixon. Evidence within the waste, found on 14th April 2025, linked it to an address in the Afan Valley. A woman admitted she had arranged for waste to be removed by Mr Dixon, and assisted officers with their enquiries.

A Council Tax search confirmed that Mr Dixon resided in Briton Ferry. During a subsequent interview, he provided conflicting accounts of events, which did not align with witness evidence.

Appearing at Swansea Magistrates Court on Thursday, 2nd April, Dixon of Regent Street West in Briton Ferry pleaded guilty to unlawfully depositing controlled waste and was ordered to pay nearly a thousand pounds, including a fine of £200, prosecution costs of £498, compensation of £148.63 for the waste being removed, and a victim surcharge of £80.

I hope whoever is doing this is caught, and also breathalysed and possibly encouraged to seek appropriate treatment.

This really doesn't look like a business dumping empty #wine bottles as they would surely be different brands, but someone who is likely drinking far too much - maybe #flytipping the #wine bottles out of shame to hide their #alcohol habit from others (or else they would have put them in the #recycling container - which is allowed unlike down South where you can't put #glass in the bin)

What's worrying is they are very likely to have driven a motor vehicle to transport them..

Neath Port Talbot crushes fly-tippers’ vehicles as crackdown intensifies

New figures released by the Welsh Government and Fly-tipping Action Wales reveal that whilst fly-tipping incidents have risen nationally by 14.7 per cent, Neath Port Talbot has maintained its strong enforcement record, seizing and crushing vehicles belonging to offenders caught dumping waste illegally.

Recent prosecutions include Richard Darren Barwell, whose vehicle was seized and crushed after an investigation found he had dumped house renovation waste at two locations in Briton Ferry.

The council’s tough approach comes as Wales recorded over 48,000 fly-tipping incidents last year — around 133 every day — with household waste accounting for 71 per cent of all illegal dumps. Nationally, more than 1,500 fines were issued alongside 69 successful prosecutions.

Cllr Scott Jones, Cabinet Member for Streetscene, said seizing and crushing vehicles sends a powerful message to would-be offenders.

“Seizing and crushing vehicles is an effective way of sending a strong message to fly-tippers that we take the crime extremely seriously,” Cllr Jones said.

“This Council is using a variety of methods – including surveillance cameras – to proactively catch the culprits who are blighting our environment. Anyone who fly-tips risks an unlimited fine and a prison sentence of up to five years.”

The council’s commitment to strengthening enforcement has been backed by a dedicated Welsh Government grant to support camera-based projects aimed at catching offenders in the act.

One of the new cameras will be installed at the site of the authority’s recently unveiled community mural in Melin, created in collaboration with Fly-tipping Action Wales, celebrity artist Nathan Wyburn and Year 5 pupils from Ysgol Melin.

The striking mural, which features piercing green eyes and the bilingual warning “No fly tipping — don’t waste our future,” was designed by the pupils themselves as a creative response to the problem blighting their community.

Neath Port Talbot has achieved significant success in tackling fly-tipping, recording a 26 per cent reduction in incidents this year — one of the largest decreases across all Welsh local authorities.

The council prosecutes large-scale, repeat or commercial fly-tipping, as well as the dumping of hazardous waste, whilst issuing fixed penalty notices for smaller-scale offences including littering, minor fly-tipping and failing to check a waste carrier’s licence.

Heidi Pawlin, Programme Manager for Fly-tipping Action Wales, said the problem damages communities and costs taxpayers millions.

“Fly-tipping damages our environment, costs taxpayers millions, and undermines communities,” Ms Pawlin said.

“Help keep your local community clean – if you’re paying someone to take your waste away, always check they have a waste carrier’s licence with Natural Resources Wales.”

Householders who fail to check whether their waste carrier is properly licensed face a fixed penalty of £300, or a fine of up to £5,000 and a criminal record if the case goes to a Magistrates Court.

The penalties for fly-tipping itself are even more severe, with offenders facing unlimited fines and prison sentences of up to five years.

Residents can check whether a waste carrier is registered by visiting naturalresources.wales/CheckWasteLicence or calling 0300 065 3000.

The Welsh Government figures show that 71 per cent of fly-tipping incidents involve household waste, highlighting the importance of householders taking responsibility for ensuring their rubbish is disposed of legally.

Fly-tipping Action Wales is a Welsh Government-sponsored initiative established in 2007 to tackle illegal dumping. The all-Wales partnership includes more than 50 organisations, including the 22 Welsh local authorities, Natural Resources Wales, Keep Wales Tidy, the three National Park Authorities, Network Rail, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, the Fire Service and all four Welsh police forces.
