The depositing of shredded mixed waste at a site in Buckingham has been identified by the Environment Agency’s East Anglia Enforcement team. The illegal activity began in August 2025 and ended in November 2025.

The waste is clearly visible from a nearby public road and properties, creating a blot on the landscape.

On discovering the incident, enforcement officers served an enforcement notice on the site’s occupier and commenced a criminal investigation into the proceedings. 

Since then, approximately half of the waste has been removed from watchlist site 20. Moving forward, we are liaising with the landowner regarding the full-scale clearance of the site and will work to conclude our criminal investigation.

Throughout our investigation, we have provided updates to the local MP.
