fine Windsor resident Philip Kavvadias told the Local Democracy Reporting Service he was baffled when an officer from District Enforcement, which is a private environmental enforcement company, knocked on his door accusing him of fly-tipping. The council entered a contract with the private firm last year to patrol the borough and issue fixed penalty notices to anyone they observe or have evidence of committing littering, dog fouling, and fly-tipping. Prior to the officer’s visit, Mr Kavvadias said he took a small cardboard Amazon box to a recycling place by the Windsor Leisure Centre on Thursday, April 15. According to Mr Kavvadias, there were bigger boxes outside the centre’s skip and decided to put his package into one of them as it ‘didn’t cross his mind’ this would land him a fly-tipping fine.
