正文(英文) | Illegal waste activities targeted in Chelmsford, EssexEssex residents are being urged to get rid of their waste properly after around 8 houses-worth of rubbish was discovered illegally dumped in Chelmsford. The mountain of waste was uncovered when enforcement officers and police swooped on a suspected illegal waste site last Wednesday (19 August 2020). Officers from the Environment Agency, Essex Police, Chelmsford City Council and Braintree District Council were acting on intelligence when they visited the site. Mountain of wasteThe rubbish they discovered included plastics, metals, glass, paper and textiles. Householders and business have a legal duty to ensure they give their waste only to those legitimately registered to handle it. If they don’t, they could be held responsible for where it ends up. To check whether a waste carrier is legal, people can ask to see the carrier’s licence and check it online or by contacting the Environment Agency on 03708 506 506. Lesley Robertson, Environment Agency enforcement team leader, said:
PC Nigel Wright from Essex Police’s Rural Engagement Team, said:
Waste crime crackdownThe Environment Agency is cracking down on serious and organised waste crime and taking tough action to deal with criminal behaviour. It is working with the police and other enforcement agencies to put waste criminals out of business and take back the profits of their crimes. Waste crime is estimated to cost the UK economy £600 million every year. It can pose a serious risk to the environment and people’s health, and make life a misery for local people.
