Hayes - Waste site 53

This is an unauthorised waste transfer station operating contrary to the conditions of both environmental permits and waste exemptions. The waste at this site is mainly mixed.

There is a range of current and likely environmental and community impacts from the waste deposited at this site. Dust can potentially affect nearby railway lines and adjacent businesses and both are at risk should any fires break out on the site. Businesses in the vicinity could also possibly be disrupted by noise, and waste can be seen from outside the site and railway lines, creating an eyesore for the neighbouring landscape.

The Environment Agency continues to monitor this site. We have been working in partnership with agencies including Network Rail, the local authority, the London Fire Brigade and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). We are assessing the most affective actions for site remediation.
