You might think that if you paid a man with a van to take away your rubbish and they then fly-tip it, it would be the van man who took the rap. But mother of five Kelly Holland, 38, of Allerton, Derby found out the hard way that such is not the case.
Holland paid a man that she’d come across of Facebook £40 to dispose of some old furniture. But her discarded household goods tuned up at a roadside in the village of Strelley in Nottinghamshire. Officers from Broxtowe Borough Council found the rubbish. And unluckily for Holland they found a wage slip with her details on it among the debris.
