Waste crime in the UK costs over £800m

A report carried out by Eunomia, an environmental consultancy, found that waste crime costs the UK over £800m.

The report states: ‘Waste crime in the UK is widespread and endemic. It takes many different forms: at one end, a builder saving a few pounds by fly-tipping rubble in a local field; at the other, illegal waste sites processing thousands of tonnes of waste, and seemingly legitimate operators misclassifying waste in order to evade a tax bill that could total many millions of pounds.’
