In the last few years, we have taken a number of measures to address waste crime and poor performance, for example, by giving regulators, Environment Agency in England and Natural Resources Wales, new powers to tackle waste crime on the ground or giving local authorities the power to issue fixed penalty notices for small scale fly-tipping.
In 2015, a call for evidence asked for views on a number of measures to tackle waste crime and poor performance at waste sites.

The 2017 consultation is divided into three sections:
The consultation proposals apply to England and Wales.
