The business owner must now pay £1, 522 for flytipping in a residential bin. The costs are as follows: a fine of £153, a £30 victim surcharge and £1,339 in court costs. A tweet from Birmingham City Council warned others of prosecution. "We'll search dumped rubbish to identify fly-tippers & prosecute where we have sufficient evidence #CleanerBrum"
