Salford residents and businesses should take note. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has confirmed Greater Manchester is one of the first two regions in England, alongside West Yorkshire, to pilot a new region-led approach to tackling waste crime, backed by a fresh Waste Crime Crackdown Group chaired by Environment Secretary Angela Eagle.
Tougher Penalties, More Enforcement
Fines for illegal waste dumping are jumping from £300 to £5,000. The Environment Agency is expanding its use of drones to catch illegal dumping in progress, and new powers under the Crime and Policing Act 2026 mean assets bought with the proceeds of waste crime, cash, cars, even houses, can now be seized far more quickly.
The Risk to You as a Resident or Business
If waste you've paid to have removed ends up fly-tipped, responsibility can trace back to you under the legal duty of care that applies whenever you hand waste to someone else. It's a simple check that protects you: before booking anyone, confirm they're a registered waste carrier on the Environment Agency's public register, and see our waste carrier licence guide for what your carrier should be able to show you.
