A £400 fine has been issued for flytipping on Stitch-Mi-Lane, Harwood.
A council investigation linked the waste to an address in Bolton.
When questioned, a builder admitted to paying an unknown male £80 to remove the waste which he thought would be disposed of at the tip.
He failed to make the necessary duty of care checks that the man held a waste carrier licence.
He was fined £400, which was later reduced to £300 for early payment.
An investigation is underway to find the person responsible for removing the waste which has led to the flytipping.
A spokesperson for Bolton Council said:
“Everyone has a legal duty of care to ensure their household or business waste is disposed of correctly.
“You can be fined or prosecuted if your waste is flytipped by someone else on your behalf.
“You should always use a registered waste carrier if someone else is collecting your waste.”
