A Welsh man was given a suspended prison sentence for illegally dumping 2,600 tonnes of hazardous waste across Wales.
Stephen John Williams, 69, of Tondu, Bridgend, was sentenced on October 3, 2025, for running illegal waste sites across Wales, dumping 2,600 tonnes of contaminated textile waste between October 2018 and 2019.
Sites in Caerphilly, Cowbridge, and Dolgellau contained hazardous waste including clothing, carpets, and foam, posing fire risks.
Williams, owner of two waste companies, failed to comply with legal notices to remove waste, forcing landowners to pay £48,790 in cleanup costs.
He was given a 21-month prison sentence suspended for two years, ordered to complete five rehabilitation days, and must repay £322,500 under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Natural Resources Wales emphasized that illegal waste disposal will result in serious legal and financial consequences.
