The council received several reports from the local authority, who were said to be worried about the waste obstructing the pavement, and conducted a thorough investigation.
Despite many follow-up reminders, the the Chingford-based construction company was prosecuted under Section 33 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The case resulted in a court hearing at Highbury Magistrates Court, where the defendant was found guilty and fined £2,005.
Councillor Seema Chandwani, cabinet member for tackling inequality and resident services, said: “This case underlines our commitment to maintaining clean and safe public spaces. This would not have been possible without the support of our residents who have been key in helping to address these issues.
“We encourage more of them to come forward to help ensure we can keep the borough cleaner and greener. Action will be taken against those who violate environmental regulations. This will simply not be tolerated in Haringey.”
