07 Jan 2022 --- The UK’s waste disposal licensing infrastructure is “broken,” according to researchers, who last year found at least 1.82 million metric tons of waste were illegally dumped on private land or taken to illegal disposal sites.This unregulated activity is the result of an underfunded and unenforced registration system for waste carriers throughout the country, and is costing the government around £176 million (US$238 million) in lost landfill tax, say the researchers.
