摘要

The number of illegal waste sites being shut down has increased by 70 per cent in the past 12 months, according to the Environment Agency. Some 1,279 locations were identified and closed in 2012/13, according to its Waste Crime Report. However, construction waste continues to be a problem, while scrap cars were found at a quarter of all illegal sites.
