Nine imprisoned for operating illegal waste site

‘Nine people have been sentenced for the operation of an illegal waste site in rural Lincolnshire, following an investigation by the Environment Agency.

The prosecution was brought against individuals that ran the illegal waste site; burned the waste; drove waste to the site and the landowners. Two waste brokers were also prosecuted.’

This case is one of many, reflecting ongoing work by the Environment Agency (Gov.uk) to crack down on Waste Crime.
