To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how the Digital Waste Tracking service will help to reduce fly tipping.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how the Digital Waste Tracking service will help to reduce fly tipping.
Once fully implemented the digital waste tracking service will require certain information about waste movements to be entered before the movement, followed by confirmation that a waste carrier has collected it and confirmation that it has been received at a waste receiving site.
If these confirmations are not provided, then this will highlight to regulators that this waste may have been ‘lost’ and potentially mismanaged. They can then act accordingly to investigate this.
This transparency and near real time data will reduce the opportunities for organised waste criminals to operate; making it much harder to commit waste crime such as fly-tipping.
