Environment Agency targets "cowboy" tyre disposal operations

Due to a current ban on whole tire disposal in landfills and and upcoming similar ban on shredded tires in the UK, illegal dumpage of tires is becoming a steadily increasing problem. Companies are faced with ever increasing disposal costs due to the ban so many are trying to get around the costs by illeagally dumping. Though companies may avvoid these costs, they are transferred to the tax paying public that funds clean up organizations.
