Oldham households and tradespeople are being reminded to check their waste carrier's credentials, as Prime Minister Andy Burnham rolls out a new national crackdown on illegal waste dumping, with Greater Manchester among the first regions to get region-led enforcement.
What the Crackdown Involves
Under the plan, fines for illegal dumping rise from £300 to £5,000, the Environment Agency gains more frontline officers and drone surveillance, and new powers under the Crime and Policing Act 2026 speed up the seizure of cash, vehicles and property linked to waste crime.
Your Responsibility as the Waste Producer
Under UK law, if you hand your waste to someone who then dumps it illegally, liability can still land on you. Before booking any waste carrier, check their licence on the Environment Agency's public register, or read our waste carrier licence page for what to look for.
