Description
Family-run illegal waste dump in Lincolnshire hit with £70,000 fine, following conviction for dumping thousands of tonnes of trash, burning, and burying it. Judge labels ringleader Paul Canner as a repeat offender, as he previously held a legitimate waste license. The Environment Agency and police uncovered the illegal dump in April 2020, leading to a £1.2 million cleanup. The family and six others were sentenced to up to 26 months in prison. The agency vows to pursue any profits from such schemes.
