BBC NewsTwo men have been given suspended jail sentences for fly-tipping after a huge amount of takeaway food waste was dumped in rural areas of Derbyshire.
Image source, South Derbyshire District CouncilWaheed Hussain (left), the owner of Sarry's fast food in Derby, paid Wahid Hamid (right) to dispose of his rubbish but instead of taking it to the official waste centre it was dumped in country lanes around Findern, Littleover and Mickleover.
Under the law, it was Hussain's responsibility to ensure his waste was disposed of legally.
South Derbyshire District Council eventually set up cameras and caught Hamid in the act.
The men admitted leaving at least 139 bin bags over eight months but council officials estimate it could have been three times that.
Hussain and Hamid were both given a six-and-a-half month suspended jail sentence and told to pay £3,000 in court costs and ordered to carry out 150 hours of community work - that might include litter picking.
