A shop owner was caught on film dumping bags of rubbish in a quiet backstreet.
And when challenged by town hall officers about how she would feel if someone fly tipped outside her premises she replied "I would complain to my council".
Ramila Sanghani, 60, pulled up in her blue Mercedes in Cambridge Street, Salford, near Strangeways.
Salford council CCTV cameras caught her unloading six bags of decorating waste and plaster from her own home.
Sanghani, of Premier Food News and Wine, Eccles Road, Swinton, pleaded guilty to illegally dumping waste contrary to section 33 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 when she appeared at Manchester and Salford magistrates court.
She was fined £586, ordered to pay £1,194 costs and a victim surcharge of £59.
The court heard that at 12.14pm on Friday August 14th 2020, Salford Council’s CCTV team saw the driver of the Mercedes illegally dumping the rubbish. Mrs Sanghani was traced and admitted fly tipping.
She was asked to explain why and claimed she went to Bury New Road to buy clothes and someone there told her to dump the rubbish in Cambridge Street. She said she normally took it to the tip.
When asked how she would feel if someone had illegally dumped six bags of waste on land near her home she said: “I would complain to my council.”
Speaking after the case, Councillor David Lancaster, lead member for environment, neighbourhoods and community safety, said :“It is incredible that someone can say they would complain if fly tipping was dumped outside their home having done the very same thing a few miles away as though it doesn’t matter,” he said.
“This rubbish could and should have been properly disposed of at the tip.
