Over the past 12-18 months INTEC have been learning more and more about the Waste Crime sector. Establishing a small but ever-growing customer base in this area.
Waste Crime is a significant problem for UK local authorities. It includes illegal activities such as fly-tipping, illegal dumping, and hazardous waste disposal. Waste Crime harms the environment, poses a threat to human health and safety, and is a drain on local authority resources.
The illegal dumping of waste is not only an eyesore but can also lead to serious health and environmental risks. Local authorities must bear the cost of cleaning up illegally dumped waste, which can be a significant drain on their resources.
Illegal waste disposal also harms the legitimate waste management industry by undercutting legal operators and causing a loss of revenue for local authorities.
To tackle this issue, local authorities must work closely with law enforcement agencies, industry experts, and the public to raise awareness of the dangers of Waste Crime and promote responsible waste management practices.
Through collaboration and education, we can prevent Waste Crime and create a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environment for everyone.
