British MPs say UK landfill strategy failing

摘要

Tighter regulations on landfill and increased fees could result in more illegal disposal of municipal waste, according the UK parliamentary environment committee (EFRA). The Committee estimated in its recent report on landfill strategy that changes to landfill rules in July last year have already resulted in 700,000 tonnes of hazardous waste unaccounted for across the country and warns that this could increase unless the regulations are accompanied by stronger enforcement measures.
