Across the country, officers like myself are working hard with partners to help protect the environment from the detrimental effects of waste crime. One way we’re doing this is to target businesses and individuals who illegally dismantle vehicles and deal in scrap metal.
Commercial vehicle dismantling and scrap metal businesses need permits to operate – both from the Environment Agency and local authorities. When a vehicle has reached the end of its life, it must be scrapped at an authorised treatment facility (ATF).
Legitimate operators run sites where vehicles are 'depolluted' and stripped for parts. This means they remove all the hazardous components or fluids – such as engine oil, engine coolant and batteries – which could be dangerous to the environment if not disposed of properly.
To do this safely, the operator must hold a certificate of technical competence and have environmental management systems in place, as well as being legally required to take extra care when producing and disposing of waste. There are also minimum infrastructure requirements in place to protect the environment.
We want to support legitimate businesses, who can lose income to illegal operations, and ensure no harm to people and the environment is caused by these illegal sites.
Scrap metal crime hotspots
One hotspot for this illegal activity is the Boston area, south Lincolnshiren, which is in my patch. We've been carrying out visits to suspected illegal operators and are working with local councils and other partners to help level the playing field for legitimate businesses which operate in the waste vehicle dismantling sector.
Through intelligence gathering, we’ve identified several small and medium-scale sites of illegal vehicle dismantlers, unlicensed scrap-metal dealers and carriers.
During visits, we provide people running sites with advice and guidance so they are made aware of how to comply with the law. We've made sure they know the dangers of depolluting without the appropriate conditions and the neccessity of having a fire risk plan in place.
We’re also asking landowners not to allow illegal activities on sites or land they lease to businesses or individuals. Waste oil from dismantled vehicles can contaminate land and may have to be excavated and removed for disposal at significant costs to the landowner. It can also pollute groundwater and find its way into drains and rivers.
While we provide advice to those who want to comply, we will continue to get tough on illegal operators, stopping those who flout the regulations.
Selling scrap metal?
If you’re selling your scrap to a collector or yard, please ask to see see their scrap metal dealers licence, issued by the relevant local authority, and do not under any circumstances ask for cash. You should be paid by cheque or bank transfer to have a valid trail. We maintain a public register for registered scrap metal dealers on behalf of all local authorities in England.
Details on the permits needed to operate a waste business can be found on GOV.UK.
If you think a site may be operating illegally, you can report it anonymously to Crimestoppers. Call 0800 555 111 or give information anonymously online.

are scrap dealers allowed to operate from residential properties, and park their large vehicles on that same street, surely not.

Property across the street from us has cars coming and going regularly. They move cars on a dolly trailer behind a car that is itself untaxed or on an untaxed recovery van. They do cars up and sell but generally strip them out. Cars change every day. About 12 gone thru them in a fortnight. Move cars at night and day. Loud banging, Shouting and swearing, no health and safety awareness. Blocking road with vehicles. Loading/unloading whilst half on footpath. Council tenants but council don't seem interested.

I have been having the very same problem in Luton.
DEFRA informed me in June that the business was unlicensed so I contacted Luton Borough Council.
I have recorded a lie they told me on 2nd June and I suspect many more.
It is still operating, apparently with impunity.
DVLA have also been informed of their untaxed tow truck outside: again no action! These people seem untouchable.
I wonder how long I'd get away selling alcohol from my home without a licence?!!!

I live on the outskirts of Brixham, Devon. A the top of our very long hill is farmland and stables. All this weekend (12/05/18-13/05/18) low loaders have been going up the hill carrying 3 or 4 vehicles on each, then returning empty. It may be harmless, but it may not be. The road is called Southdown Hill, and our postcode is TQ5 0AE. Another one has just gone by going up; that's 15 wrecks i've counted so far.

What is the appropriate course of action to flag this for investigation as this is very concerning?

I am in Bradford and this morning got into a heated argument with a scrapman that pulled into our street and I saw him pulling on my neighbours iron fence and trying to reach over the fence to pull on other bits of metal. After trying to co front him and advising that was private property that he was trying to take and he got very nasty and aggressive telling me to keep my nose out! I know calling the police over this incident will not get a response but I worry that this man will be talking to others like that also. Probs others that are afraid to stand up for themselves unlike myself. Anyway I took pics of his licence plate as he was insulting me and driving off but this Behavior not be accepted or left unnoticed.

Our neighbour collects scrap from our local area and sells it to the local scrap metal merchant in our area. However recently it has stepped up and have had old appliances (sometimes fridges) today on one of the hottest days of the year so far it smells as if they are burning the plastic insulation off cables to save time rather than manually stripping but I have no physical proof who do I share my concerns with?

Read this with interest after recently being visited by two blokes in a dropside transit around the back of my house, in wittering near stamford. They had typical boston accents. I suspect I was visited by one of the groups of men you have mentioned. Unfortunately I didnt get the reg of their van, g reg personal plate on a much newer vehicle , but they asked if I wanted to sell the car parked next to the one I was working on, and thir transit already had a completely smashed to pieces smart car on the back. I explained the car was nothing to do with me , and didn't want to get involved but they were very persistent. I've seen these same blokes in the middle of the night trying to nick bikes out of my back garden after being alerted by my dog. I've also seen them down peterborough metal recycling Ltd which I suspect is where they take most of their collections. The owner there told me people often come in selling stuff on drugs.They fly up and down the a1 stealing stuff at night and buying scrap for cash during the day. Since I've lived in wittering I've had several encounters with these blokes. I've had handwritten notes left on another car that was parked up for a couple of months " cash paid for your car " with a mobile number left. These blokes go round all the estates and if they think there is a scrap car they will try and take it . Thanks for the blog. I was wondering g if a license was needed , decided to Google it and it came up.with this. I think people need to be aware of these criminals, and I will certainly be keeping a closer
Eye out for them in the future

Be aware there is a so called business in Oakham Rutland who is illegally storing and dismantling parts off cars and vans, storing write-offs and selling them off as good cars and parts where they can. This has been going on for a while. Other businesses on the Ind. Est. have cctv footage overlooking the car park where up to 50 vehicles are waiting or being dismantled illegally and is definitely a big fire and environmental disaster waiting to happen. Nick's Auto's is the business do not go anywhere near there. Who is the best agency to report this illegal activity?

2 men came onto my property today and started moving items from my garden down to the bottom gate whilst I was at work. My mother was in and opened the window to them to tell them to get off of the property, one of the men came right up to the window and told my mother that he was going to take it all off of her hands and wouldn't charge her. She threatened to let the dogs out if they didn't get off the property and they quickly ran off. This has left her very upset as she suffers with her nerves and worried that they will come back. Who would I call or inform about this? Staffordshire area

There are two garages based on tithe street, Leicester trading as ‘ A to Z auto salvage' and ' mas salvage’, they are 2 separate garages running under one scrap yard license and they break/dismantle cars without holding any record and have no wamitab competency license to run and there is no competent person (COTC)
As I am involved in the recycling business myself I know there is a constant demand to make sure all rules and regulations are followed with a correct filling system to keep records up to date and all licenses from scrap yard license to wamitab competency is kept up to date. I feel it is highly unfair that there are breaker yards which are constantly pressured to keep with regulations when there are Ganges like the above which have nothing in place are still running. If it is expected for one to follow rules then all garages should be following rules.
I would be most grateful if you could look into this matter and take action against these garages. I have listed their full addresses below.

Redcorn ltd in Tottenham have the worst customer service i have ever encountered.. they're an ATF garage yet they seem to be run as if they're hiding something..
They have no formal complaints procedure and wont allow me to speak to a manager..
The issue is they issued a CoD for my vehicle in error in November and still to today have been rude and very unhelpful.
They've not responded to my last email sent weeks ago and when this was brought up on the phone today i was told to email the claims dept.. which I've already done!..
I believe they have issues like this a lot and have a great system of fobbing us off when we try to get it sorted!
My car technically doesn't exist and it needs to be mot on the 6th!!
DVLA still taking my money for tax and i have lost income due to not being able to drive to work..who is best to register a complaint against the ATF?.
DVLA are aware and can only reverse the CoD with contact from the ATF garage who again have assured me they've done this , which they obviously haven't, so i think they should be investigated..

Are farmers - who are not scrap metal merchants - allowed to just keep piling up scrap metal beside our home? They had loads of wrecked cars in one field (recently moved - sold!) and then right beside our home (in their old stables) they have 10-12 ft high scrap heaps that have been there for years now, and again last weekend they have added the carcasses of 4-5 caravans to it. I only ask as it seems ordinary residents like us have zero rights, yet farmers seem exempt from every law and license the rest of us have to abide by. Any advice please?

I have brought a car privately online. Prior buying I had done hpi check which came out all clear. Vehicle still has valid mot. Seller sent off log book to dvla at postoffice.however o was not able to tax vehicle and seller suddenly disappeared and no longer uses his mobile number.called dvla and was told that this vehicle is no longer in existence.no further information can be given as I am not the owner on v5.i called up trading standards however they was not able to help at this stage.when I went through all the vehicle receipts and paperwork I found a number that had belonged to the previous Owner which I then contacted. I was told that 1 month ago he had sold his vehicle to a local scrapyard for recycling/dismantling. The scrapyard is very close to wear I live. Seems like the scrapyard sold vehicle onto someone else (which might be a breaker or exporter)and that person decided to sell it instead. But did not take into consideration that once a vehicle has been declared scrapped this cannot be roadworthy anymore and I can never have ownership of the vehicle v5.

I can not understand why you bought the car in the first place, we live in a world of mainly con men, I went to a local scrapyard after being sent a driveshaft through the internet, this was local to me, googled it on earth, always use that when buying anything off the net, anyway, the driveshaft had more lift than the one I was replacing after a local Garage put it on his lift ramp, as it was local I decided to take the driveshaft back, I had noticed through Google earth,(bless them), I hole in the steel fence, I walked across to the office, it had a large sign on the door THIS OFFICE CLOSED, lol, I tried the door a few times, then it opened, an Asian fella, and some other guy said 'what are you doing here', I told him I wanted my £20 back, was refunded, less £1 30p administration costs,lol, if your going to buy from a scrapyard through the internet, make sure it is local, returns will be fobbed off and many only do that through E=Mails, getting you, money back would be like getting an audience with the Pope remember!!!, I was LOCAL!!!, what if it was a hundred miles away, remember!! lots , as I have said, are through E=Mails, I was lucky then but, I sent for a new driveshaft to J&R trading, tie cross road Birmingham, I put my car up on heavy timber, opened the box, it was the wrong one, I was livid, I felt a right dope, I rang up, a nice ladies voice on the intro told me 'returns must be done by E=Mail, as I had paid them over £50 for the driveshaft I was livid, then I read the reviews,Aaaaagh, one lady had the wrong article, was told to post it back, they would pay that and refund her, Aaaaagh, after getting writers cramp sending E=Mails and no reply she has given up REMEMBER!!!, READ THE REVIEWS BEFOR BUYING OFF ANY COMPANY, THE SNAKES ARE OUT TO FLEECE YOU.

Is there anyway to report a scrap car dealer for failure to pay the agreed sale price after taking your car? Even aside from the money, I'm concerned about any potential repercussions from not receiving the required scrap confirmation and if they've done this to me, there will be others.

Good morning, the Environment Agency are the regulators of the permit for the waste only and we do not regulate the charges for scrapping vehicles. DVLA are responsible for the vehicle scrappage. If you do not receive your certificate of destruction then you should contact DVLA https://www.gov.uk/contact-the-dvla - You could liaise with the Citizens Advice Bureau https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/contact-us/contact-us/ - and lastly the Police may be able to offer advice using the non emergency number 101 or raising an enquiry on line https://www.police.uk/pu/contact-us/ ^Eileen

The measures implemented by the Environment Agency to curb unlawful scrap metal activities are detailed at environmentagency.blog.gov.uk. In this article, the agency's efforts to curb illegal practices in the scrap metal industry are discussed. The website's goal is to raise awareness of the risks involved with illegal operations and the necessity of regulation within the sector. It encourages eco-friendly habits and backs up environmental protection initiatives.
