Article summary

The Environment Agency (EA) has reminded roofers and builders in Devon and Cornwall to take responsibility for their waste. The reminder comes after the EA found large amounts of asbestos waste buried at a site after executing a search warrant. The site operator was arrested and questioned by the police. The EA emphasises that asbestos and other hazardous waste requires disposal by specialist contractors at sites that can legally and safely handle it. It also underlines that mishandling waste creates a serious risk to the environment, wildlife and public health.
