Two south Manchester takeaways slapped with £20,000 fine for dumping piles of rubbish in alleyway

Two south Manchester takeaways have been hit with big fines after dumping their rubbish in alleyways. Both were caught when receipts and packaging belonging to the takeaways were found in the waste.

Karahi Box Ltd - trading as Daawat Authentic Karahi By Jilanis - of Stockport Road, Longsight, have been slapped with a £9,740 fine while Karak (c) Ltd - trading as Karak Chaii - of Wilmslow Road, Rusholme, have been ordered to pay £10,730.

On five separate occasions between April and November 2021 at Karak Chaii council officers found waste dumped in an alleyway between Eva Street and Grandale Street, which was linked to the takeaway through receipts and packaging with the name of the business. The company has also been prosecuted for similar offences previously.

The company were invited to a legal interview to address the waste issues at the premises. The
