Actions have consequences.
If you use a vehicle to illegally dump waste, don’t be surprised if it ends up crushed and destroyed like this skip vehicle seized in Swale, Kent.
This is just one of the ways we’re deterring waste crime.

Operation Unite has been part of a nationwide crackdown on waste crime.
42 enforcement visits later, we've triggered over 30 criminal investigations, with 17 permit suspensions and revocations underway.

Reporting organised crime is anonymous.
Call Crimestoppers if you see them operating in your area.
