Suffolk company fined for running illegal waste site

A Suffolk property services company has today (Tuesday) been fined £3500 and asked to pay £2500 costs for running an illegal waste site and failing to provide waste transfer notes.

Ipswich Magistrates’ Court heard today that Stowbox Ltd had been depositing, treating, storing and disposing of waste at its premises at Woodfarm Business Centre, Crowfield, Ipswich, without being authorised by an environmental permit. 

The court heard that it had also failed to provide its customers with waste transfer notes, which provide a written description of the waste, as required.

Miriam Tordoff, prosecuting for the Environment Agency, said that significant amounts of waste had been deposited, treated and stored and some waste had been burned on site.
