UK launches £45M plan to fight waste crime with stronger penalties, tracking, and site closures.
The UK government has launched a £45 million Waste Crime Action Plan to combat illegal dumping, with new powers for the Environment Agency to shut down sites, seize assets, and make warrantless arrests.
Offenders may face up to 20 hours of unpaid clean-up work, penalty points on driving licences, and up to 51 weeks in prison for repeat offences.
The plan includes a digital waste tracking system, stricter permitting, and a public “named and shamed” list of violators.
Cleanup efforts will target major sites in Wigan, Sheffield, and Hyndburn, with landfill tax rebates for local authorities.
The initiative aims to deter waste crime, protect communities, and reduce annual economic losses estimated at £1 billion.
