Hide AdItems used in a house refurbishment had been dumped including a bathroom suite, broken tiles, kitchen and bathroom cupboards, paint and rubbish bags.
Their investigation linked the dumped waste to a property Yousuf owned and rented out on Ashburnham Road in Luton.
During an interview, Yousuf admitted to paying someone cash to take the waste, but he did not check for a waste carrier licence or obtain a waste transfer note.
He attended Luton Crown Court on March 14 and pleaded guilty to the offence. He was fined £1,083 and ordered to pay costs of £675 and a victim surcharge of £108. The total was £1,866.
