‘The new narcotics’: how waste crime is causing environmental disaster across the UK.
As organised criminals increase their involvement in waste crime, labelled the “new narcotics”, the scale of the environmental disaster they are creating is spreading.
Criminals face few repercussions for dumping toxic rubbish as Environment Agency struggles to keep up.

River close to engulfing waste mountain, MP warns
Marcus White and Jamie Morris, November 17, 2025
"A river is rising and threatening to engulf a mountain of fly-tipped waste in a field, an MP has warned.
"After heavy rain over the weekend, the River Cherwell is now lapping against the 'obscene' 150m (490ft) long pile near Kidlington in Oxfordshire, Calum Miller told the House of Commons.
"The Liberal Democrat MP for Bicester and Woodstock said the situation had become 'much more urgent' and asked the government to intervene.
"Environment Minister Emma Hardy said the Environment Agency was investigating and had acted to prevent further access to the site.
"Fly-tippers are thought to have spent weeks building up the mound in a field between the river and the A34.
"The Oxfordshire MP said it had reached a height of up to 12m (39ft).
"Asking a Urgent Question in the House of Commons, he said the river level had risen by about 4ft (1.2m) in recent days and some of the waste was now afloat.
"He said: 'This incident highlights that organised criminal gangs are carefully planning operations to dump #IndustrialWaste in the countryside.'
" 'They earn millions of pounds in illegal earnings without a thought for the health of people or animals, nor the damage to soil, water or air. And I am deeply concerned that the #EnvironmentAgency (#EA) is not equipped to deal with this unfolding #EnvironmentalDisaster.'
"Mr Miller said the government should order a clean-up by issuing a directive to the EA, similar to the one given for #HoadesWood in Kent in 2024.
"He also urged ministers to review the government's response to waste crime and allow the National Crime Agency to investigate the most serious cases."

So, when I first saw this headline, I thought it was about the #UnitedStates making #EPA staffing cuts. Nope! It's the #UK! And this has been going on for a while now!
Thousands of #RiverPollution tests cancelled because of staff shortages
by Jonah Fisher, July 24, 2025
Excerpt: "Staffing problems are nothing new at the EA. In 2023 its chairman Alan Lovell told parliament that it had 'struggled with recruitment and retention of staff'.
"Internal emails obtained by campaign groups #Greenpeace and #Desmog through freedom of information requests were shared with the BBC. They show EA officials discussing the impact of staff departures on testing and saying that others planned to leave.
"One senior official, writing an email to her colleagues, said it was 'not good news I'm afraid' adding 'this isn't where we want to be (again)'.
"Helen Nightingale, who worked at the #EnvironmentAgency as a catchment planner, analysing data from its water quality programme until 2022, says that while she was there she saw a shift of focus away from serious investigation to trying to find 'successes'.
"She also said that morale was low: "The pay is not great – we didn't have pay rises for years due to #austerity.
" 'But a lot people are in it [the EA] because they want to make a difference – and when you're not even getting that - well, what's the point?'
"Documents seen by the BBC show that the work affected by the cuts to testing this year included investigations into the water industry in various parts of the country, and monitoring of #ProtectedAreas including the #RiverWye, which is currently facing a #pollution crisis linked to intensive #ChickenFarming."
