A private refuse collector has been fined more than £2,000 for dumping piles of rubbish outside his front door instead of taking it to a proper disposal site.
Daniel Morgan, 34, charged people to take away their old furniture, ripped-out kitchens and tyres.
Morgan - who operated business Dan's Disposable Services - had already been warned after complaints about him leaving bulky items including a three-piece-sofa, kitchen work tops and window frames outside his door.
But Morgan carried on using the pavement in Sunnybank Street in Aberdare, South Wales, 'as a refuse skip' despite the warnings.
A court heard the dumped rubbish took up the full length of the property and made the public footpath completely impassable.
