8 Aug 2025 Fletcher Plant LimitedWaste broker breaches duty of care in illegal dumping – 117,587 GBP incl. confiscation €135,610
Acting as a waste broker, the Sheffield company arranged in 2019/2020 for more than 1,400 tonnes of waste to be transported to an illegally operated site in Lincolnshire without continuously checking the operator's authorisations. The court imposed a fine of 80,000 GBP and a confiscation order of 37,587.13 GBP (117,587.13 GBP in total) plus 50,000 GBP in costs. According to its 2024 annual accounts, the company had an average of 104 employees.
Treat due diligence on waste contractors as an ongoing task, not a one-off: check their authorisations regularly throughout the contract.
