The United Kingdom has allowed illegal operators and criminals to take over large sections of the waste industry. It must stop.

@DrMickSalt @RedIndustries2 @StinkStopthe @Audrey08196234 @WalleysLorries @RachSalv @AaronBell4NUL @wheezylikesund1 @bbcmtd @Signal1Official @thehitmix And yet they still continue to operate…because the regulator has no real ability or power to step in.

Interesting choice of photo. After stuffing sites full of waste or burning them down like Eldon Brickworks the criminals might just be audacious enough to pile it on the streets.

You have to question why it took more than 18 visits to sort this out. These operators must be absorbing a huge share of ⁦@EnvAgency⁩ resources. Where else do you get more than 18 chances? https://t.co/nVxrRprYtA

I might start to believe we can make an impact on waste criminality if we could see more jail time. https://t.co/nVxrRprYtA

‘No evidence’ 🙈🙉🙊. So many factors involved here that you just have to go with common sense - it will. https://t.co/9tr9gNdkIS

Welsh regulator offers advice over waste costs but will the message get through in a time of financial crisis? https://t.co/gMYMesdXHD

I do wonder how we will ever get on top of the illegal exporting of waste when the ‘penalties’ for doing it are so weak. Why not remove permits? How many tonnes of this cr@p are burning at the side of the road in Turkey or other countries? https://t.co/XfiT8ed9bK

@Audrey08196234 @WalleysQ @AaronBell4NUL @SimonTagg It might be worth making a FOI request to @EnvAgency to find out which waste companies are delivering and what they claim to be delivering?

@Audrey08196234 @WalleysQ @AaronBell4NUL @SimonTagg Always unmarked trucks?

I don’t understand the variability of punishments. 14 week prison plus £5,000 fine plus a driving ban for 11 tonnes🤔. I have no sympathy but cannot see the link from this to the generally paltry fly tipping fines typically issued? https://t.co/SZFhnOOHoj

The aptly named ‘Operation Nosedive’. The multi-million pound cost of failed Niramax tax fraud probe which had 'significant weaknesses'. https://t.co/MTtxhRMTxf
