Joint the fight against waste crime

27 November 2023/in News/by Iain Stevens

‘The Environment Agency is urging businesses and the public to help in the fight against waste crime.

Waste crime is a blight on our communities and environment. From blatant examples like fly-tipping rubbish by the roadside to environmental permit breaches and money-laundering, these activities can endanger people’s safety and undermine legitimate waste businesses.

On top of that, waste crime costs the economy in England an estimated £1 billion per year – that’s the same as the combined starting salary of over 38,000 newly-qualified nurses.’

See this Environment Agency press release to find out what actions are currently taking place and how we can work together to reduce this problem.

State Of Our Trails Report

10 November 2023/in News/by Iain Stevens

‘Over the last three years 4,500+ people have helped remove over 216,000 items of single-use pollution from the places they love

We’ve estimated that there might be as many as 9.1 million items of SUP (Single Use Pollution – ‘litter’) on the UK’s recreational trails. This means that a walker, runner or rider could, on average, encounter a piece of SUP every 24 metres’.

Notting Hill Carnival is Europe’s biggest annual festival in London that attracts 2 million partygoers over the August Bank Holiday.

Over two evenings, dedicated waste crews from SUEZ work through the night to clear away rubbish and cleanse the streets.

This 9 minute behind-the-scenes film (YouTube) by SUEZ recycling and recovery UK reveals the planning involved to remove over 300 tonnes of litter!
