The offenders have now been served with a fixed penalty notice for £400 after admitting the offence.
Norman MacRae, cabinet member for the environment at the council, said: “These people have blatantly disregarded the law on fly-tipping and will pay the price.
“It should serve as a warning to anyone considering dumping their rubbish illegally.”
