Waste Disposal: Crime
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many fires there have been at illegal waste and recycling facilities in England in the last three years.
Answered by Samantha Dixon
The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government collects data on fires at waste and recycling facilities attended by fire and rescue services in England. However, it does not specify if the premises was operating legally or illegally.
Specifically, the published data shows the number of fires at recycling centres and is published in the Other building fire incident level data set, available here.
