Unknown to James Joyce, 45, of Llangyfelach Road, Swansea, the Facebook post was part of Operation Walt - a joint "test purchase" operation to combat unlicensed waste carriers by Neath Port Talbot Council with partners South Wales Police. After Joyce responded to the social media post, he removed the waste advertised for £40 from Lonlas Village Workshops in October of last year. He assured a member of staff he spoke to at the workshops "he did everything by the book". Don't miss a court report by signing up to our crime newsletter here . After driving away with the waste, Joyce was stopped and spoken to by waste enforcement officers. A check confirmed that he did not have a licence to transport waste so he was issued an Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) for the offence. As payment was not received, a reminder letter was sent to Joyce who made no contact with waste enforcement officers and as such a final reminder letter was sent out via first class post in November last year. Article continues below Later, after the FPN was not still not paid he was prosecuted for carrying controlled waste, contrary to s1(5) of the Control of Pollution (amendment) Act 1989. At Swansea Magistrates Court on Thursday, May 29, Joyce pleaded guilty to the offence and was fined £615, ordered to pay costs of £413 and given a £246 victim surcharge - a total of £1,274. Councillor Scott Jones, Neath Port Talbot Council's cabinet member for streetscene, said: "The cheap and unlawful removal of waste by unlicensed persons, has an effect on the local economy in that it presents unfair competition to legitimate businesses and this case shows the council and its partners will use every power available to them to bring to justice anyone who moves waste without the proper licence being in place."
