A TYRONE business owner has been fined a total of £900 for waste offences.
Brian Quinn (47), of Corr Road, pleaded guilty to three counts of unauthorised disposal of controlled waste.
At Dungannon Magistrates Court, Quinn also had a £15 offender levy imposed.
The court heard that, on March 15, 2023, Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) officers inspected a site on the Corr Road, Dungannon controlled by Quinn, which was connected to a shredding business by the name of Confidential Shredding (CO) NI.
Officers observed hundreds of wooden pallets, large amounts of paper pre- and post-shredded, cages of plastic wrapping, piles of baled cardboard and large amounts of empty egg boxes.
Officers also observed machinery connected with the shredding and baling of paper and cardboard in sheds onsite.
Although the business did have a registered carriers of waste licence it did not hold the necessary Waste Management Licence for the depositing, keeping and treating of waste materials.
