Burnley Borough Council prosecutes 39 offenders for environmental offences
Burnley Borough Council’s Streetscene team has successfully prosecuted 39 individuals for environmental offences between January and March 2026, resulting in a total of £22,040 in fines and court costs.
Of these cases, 33 prosecutions related to waste offences, while six individuals were prosecuted for dog fouling offences under the council’s Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
The prosecutions follow investigations by the Council’s Streetscene Enforcement Team, who continue to tackle environmental crime across the borough and hold offenders accountable for actions that negatively impact local neighbourhoods.
Environmental offences such as illegal waste disposal and dog fouling can have a serious impact on communities, affecting public health, damaging the local environment, and creating unnecessary clean-up costs for the council and taxpayers.
Councillor Howard Baker, Executive member for Community & Environmental Services, said: “Environmental crime will not be tolerated in Burnley. These prosecutions demonstrate our ongoing commitment to keeping the borough clean and safe for residents. We will continue to investigate offences thoroughly and take action against those who choose to ignore the law.”
Residents are reminded that they have a legal duty of care to ensure their household waste is disposed of responsibly and only handed to authorised waste carriers. Fixed penalties should not be ignored as non-payment will lead to prosecution.
