The money is meant to be used to speed up discharges from hospital, freeing up space for more patients
A Lincolnshire-based food waste recycling company has been fined £36,000 after unlawful land spreading and waste storing in the county and beyond.
Lawfully, the company can spread such waste to farmlands in circumstances where it can be demonstrated that the land will benefit agriculturally or ecologically. This agreement ensures that waste is only permitted to be spread to land where it benefits the soil or crop, rather than posing a threat to the environment.
Further offences occurred at Acomb Farm, Blaxton in November and December 2018; as well as to East Ferry Road in Susworth, Lincolnshire between November and December of 2019. The court fined Whites Recycling Limited £36,000 and further ordered the company to pay a statutory surcharge of £170, along with the Environment Agency’s investigation and legal costs of £38,008.17.
