Belfast waste company fined £27,500
A Belfast waste management company was fined £27,500 in Belfast Magistrates' Court for seven separate waste offences.
Euroskips Ltd were fined for breaches of waste management legislation after being found guilty of the offences on Belfast’s Castlereagh Road.
The charges related to the keeping and disposing of controlled waste on land, not in accordance with a waste management licence and in a manner likely to cause pollution to the environment or harm to human health.
During an inspection by enforcement officers of the Environment and Heritage Service (EHS) carried out in April 2004, controlled waste including biodegradeable household waste, foodstuffs, electrical goods, paper, textiles and green wastes were discovered.
This week’s settlement is believed to have been the biggest ever fine for breaching waste management in Northern Ireland
EHS said they already taken a number of cases to court for similar offences and are actively pursuing a number of others.
