A roofer has been electronically tagged after admitting to fly-tipping asbestos on a road in Kent.
On 4 October last year, Wallace Sharpless, who runs Advanced Roofcare, had dismantled a shed roof for a client and loaded the debris in the back of an open truck. He drove the vehicle to two scrap yards in Strood, which refused to take the debris as it contained asbestos.
Having failed to find someone to take the waste, the 37-year-old then dumped half opposite Walsh’s Yard in Strood, before shedding the rest outside nearby Morgan's timber yard. He was spotted fly-tipping the load by one of the businesses, which reported the incident to Medway Council. Environmental health officers from the council visited both sites and found CCTV footage of Sharpless dumping the hazardous substance.
