Crackdown on illegal waste carriers

Carmarthenshire Council’s environmental enforcement officers joined a multi-agency operation in Bynea, as part of an operation, led by Dyfed Powys Police.

The one-day project focused on individuals engaged in illegal waste transportation, and brought together several agencies, including Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), working across two key locations.

In an effort to clamp down on illegal waste activity, the council concentrated on identifying individuals who were transporting waste without the required waste-carrier licences or proper documentation.
