A "persistent fly-tipper" from Bolton dumped months' worth of rubbish outside her own house.
Renata Lakatosova, 34, made eight large fly-tips at the rear and side of her house on Woodfield Street in Great Lever.
Lakatosova dumped bin bags full of rubbish, significant quantities of cardboard, as well as large household items such as a child's buggy.
She was brought before Wigan and Leigh Magistrates' Court on Thursday, March 6, for fly-tipping offences.
Council environmental enforcement officers investigated her between October 2023 and May 2024, with eight "large fly-tip offences" being committed in that period, most of which were caught on CCTV.
Lakatosova pleaded guilty to fly-tipping at the court. She was handed a 12-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £250 costs and £114 victim surcharge.

Cllr Richard Silvester, the council’s executive cabinet member for environmental services, said: “The fact that there is a no fly-tipping sign next to the area this resident dumped the waste shows a complete disregard for the law and community she lives within.
“There really is no excuse for fly-tipping and anyone caught doing so will find themselves with a fine or even in court and served with a community order.”
This comes as five other people were taken to court recently for fly-tipping.
With the council and litter-picking groups seeking to combat the dumping of rubbish in the town, some perpetrators are being taken through the courts for their offences.
One offender was fined more than £1,500 for his offence, which saw him dumping a fridge freezer on land in Daubhill.
