When we can seize a vehicle
If a vehicle, trailer, mobile plant and its contents is being, has been, or will be used to commit a waste crime such as fly-tipping, we can seize the vehicle and its contents.
This is done under the Control of Waste (Dealing with seized property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015.
A vehicle can be seized:
- if it's used in fly-tipping
- if it's driven by somebody who is not registered as a waste carrier
- if it's used to move waste to somebody who is not registered as a waste carried
- if it's being used at a site that is breaking the rules of an environmental permit
