Six sentenced for multiple waste offences

  • 17 days ago
Waste operators who repeatedly ignored Environment Agency advice that their sites posed a persistent fire risk - before fires broke out that burned for days - have been sentenced.

Sentencing included prison sentences spanning 6.5 years and fines totalling more than £103,000.

Six defendants appeared in court for sentencing at Teesside Crown Court on Monday 20 May for multiple environmental offences spanning across three sites.
