AMRITA Pitamber (no address given) was on Thursday fined $5,000 by Magistrate Alex Moore for improper disposal of commercial waste. She pleaded guilty to the charge that said on February 17, at Peter Rose Street, Georgetown, she disposed of three chairs and one large mattress.

The woman, who was unrepresented by counsel, told the court that she placed the articles on the road because she had given them to someone and he was supposed to have collected them. However, she could not wait until he had collected them, because she had to go to Essequibo.
The magistrate told Pitamber not to repeat the mistake, and to make better arrangements the next time.
