Waste Crime

Waste crime day of action
EA targets waste criminals on ‘day of action’

As part of Operation Lyceum and Iris, lorries outside waste sites were proactively checked, with the objective of stopping the movement of ‘misdescribed waste’ and of preventing incorrect and unsafe disposal.


30 lorry drivers were spoken to regarding their cargoes, with nine lorries tested for hazardous waste. A stolen generator worth £15,000 was seized, and lorry drivers who tried to evade inspection were ‘flushed out’.
