正文(英文) | Press release Corby man gets a suspended sentence for illegal waste operationsSkip man given a suspended 6-month prison sentence for dumping construction and demolition waste on land at Easton on the Hill. A 66-year-old man who hired out and collected skips has been handed a prison sentence of six months, suspended for two years, for carrying out illegal waste operations at a site in Fineshade, Corby. Stephen Lack of Monkton Sidings, Corby, was successfully prosecuted by the Environment Agency in a case heard at Northampton Crown Court on Wednesday 24 April 2019. Persistent offendingLack pleaded guilty to three charges of operating without an environmental permit for the deposit, storage, treatment and disposal of waste; depositing construction and demolition waste on land at Cliffe Road, Easton on the Hill; and for failing to complete a waste transfer note for the transport of controlled waste. Prosecuting for the Environment Agency, Mrs Sarah Dunne said that Lack had failed to respond to Environment Agency warnings and advice and had persisted with his offending behaviour over a number of months. Trading under the name of Abbey Skips, Lack already had a previous conviction for similar offending at the Monkton Sidings, Fineshade site in Corby. The site had previously been a permitted waste transfer station, but following persistent non-compliance on the site, including burning waste, the permit was revoked in 2012. Noxious fumesAfter new complaints in 2017, officers attending the site saw large volumes of waste including broken corrugated asbestos and burning waste, which gave off noxious fumes and a bad odour. On other visits to the site, officers also found hazardous waste including cement-bonded asbestos on an area that had no sealed drainage. Anyone transporting waste as part of their business, whether it’s their waste or someone else’s, has to register for a Waste Carriers Licence. Any site that is used to store waste needs to be permitted, and would need to meet requirements such as sealed drainage, and limits on amount and type of waste. Sentencing Mr Lack, Her Honour Judge Lucking QC said that he had committed:
She imposed a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years. She ordered Mr Lack to pay £9,185 towards the costs of the Environment Agency and a victim surcharge of £115. Waste crime blights communitiesSpeaking after the case, Paul Salter, Senior Environmental Crime Officer at the Environment Agency, said:
Anyone can play a part in helping to prevent waste getting into the hands of criminals. If you suspect a company is operating illegally, you can call the Environment Agency 24/7 on 0800 80 70 60 or report it anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. You can also check online whether a waste carrier is genuine.
