During 2012 thirty landfill sites have closed in the UK, taking the number of closures to one hundred and thirty since 2008, according to a new report.
Although another eight landfill sites have either opened or re-opened in 2012, there has been a further drop in the amount of waste being sent to landfill, the report found.
This was attributed in part to the impact of the recession as well as local authorities grappling to pay increasing landfill tax, which rose by £8 to £64 per tonne in April 2012 and is set to rise to£72 a tonne from April 2013.
Record Jail Time Handed To Waste Criminals
The number of people sent to prison for committing waste crimes trebled between 2010 and 2011, whilst the amount of money paid in fines increased by 80%, according to an Environment Agency report published in September 2012.
Cracking down on waste crime, the Agency’s first annual waste crime report, reveals that 16 people were handed custodial sentences in 2011, more than three times the amount in 2010, which saw five custodial sentences handed out.
The report also shows that the number of prosecutions for illegal waste activity rose from the 2010 figure of 280, to 335 in 2011.
