At Stafford Magistrates’ Court in February this year, Stuart Holford, CEO of Staffordshire haulier Holford Contracts – which has since gone into liquidation – was ordered to pay £32,000 for offences under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
In October 2007, the company was paid to dispose of 364 tonnes of food waste by a customer who believed this would be deposited at an authorised landfill site.
EA officers visited the firm’s site in Stowe-byChartley in November 2008, but they discovered it had no waste management licence and an excavation unearthed large quantities of packaged, tinned and bottled foodstuffs buried underground.
