Environment Agency crushes 8 wheel truck linked to Kent waste crimeTough action is example of Environment Agency's new powers to combat illegal waste activity. ![]() Truck was crushed after being seized during an ongoing waste crime investigation by the Environment Agency A tipper truck linked to illegal waste activity across Kent has been seized and crushed by the Environment Agency. The 8 wheeler truck is believed to belong to an organised group operating in south east England, and was discovered in February near Iwade, outside Sittingbourne in Kent, during an ongoing Environment Agency waste crime investigation. The truck was seen at a number of waste sites across Kent and is linked to illegal dumping of waste at commercial properties. The vehicle in question was crushed, under Environment Agency supervision, by a licensed scrap yard as part of an operation into large scale illegal dumping of commercial waste. The Environment Agency is urging everyone, whether a resident or a business, to take responsibility for their own waste. It advises people not to give waste to someone who can’t prove they are a legitimate waste carrier, because they are likely to dump the rubbish, to avoid paying waste disposal costs. A waste transfer note should always be obtained from waste collectors as proof. Anyone in doubt should call either the Environment Agency’s incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60, use the Crimestoppers online form, or call anonymously on 0800 555 111. Alan Cansdale, Environment Manager, said:
Further informationNo one came forward to claim the truck after its seizure was advertised. Under the powers granted by ‘The Control of Waste (Dealing with Seized Property) Regulations 2015’ the Environment Agency can destroy seized vehicles.
