Waste business fined for illegal operation

摘要

A CORNISH WASTE disposal business has been ordered to pay nearly £80,000 in fines and costs for illegally storing and treating waste at a site near Penzance for 18 years without a permit. On 10 April, Truro Crown Court was told how the waste stored by Les Allen Waste Disposal Services at the Perranuthnoe site included asbestos. The court was also told how the business operated without a permit despite receiving advice from the Environment Agency and owner Leslie Allen assuring officers he would apply for a permit.
