A man has been ordered to pay hundreds of pounds after dumping waste on a public road in Chadwell Heath.

Mr Ramavath Saikiran, 28, of Arandora Crescent, Romford, was prosecuted after leaving a cardboard box on St Chads Road, a known fly-tipping hotspot, in September 2025. The waste was traced back to his home address, and he later admitted the offence under caution. 

Despite being issued with a £200 Fixed Penalty Notice, he failed to pay and the case was referred to court. Barkingside Magistrates’ Court heard the case on 23 June 2026 in his absence and found the offence proved. 

He was ordered to pay a £200 fine, £350 in costs and an £80 victim surcharge. 

The offence was reported by the Chadwell Heath Residents Association, with evidence found within the waste enabling officers to identify the responsible individual. 

Councillor Syed Ghani, Cabinet Member for Enforcement and Community Safety said: “Leaving rubbish next to a bin is still fly-tipping, no matter how big or small the item. This kind of behaviour can quickly attract more waste and turn an area into a dumping ground. We will not tolerate it and will take action against those who blight our communities.”
