A NORTHAMPTON haulage contractor has been fined £8,000 by Welsh Magistrates for delivering fridges on behalf of a refuse disposal firm to a company without a suitable waste management licence.

Can Brothers (Farmers) also pleaded guilty to failing to ensure the waste they supplied was being disposed of correctly.

Llandrindod Wells Magistrates heard how the Environment Agency (EA) granted Knightonbased Industrial Plastics Recyclers (1PR) a Waste Management Licence for it to process waste foam and plastic from fridges in August 2002. The licence came into force in December the following year, but site inspections by EA officers in November 2002 indicated that 6.000 whole fridges had already been brought to the site and stored. Sundorne Products (I_ loes) were the original hok the fridges and Can Brothe delivered some of them.

Sundorne's company di said he had contacted [PR if it could accept fridges an been told that they could.

The company's mar director admitted he ha checked through IPR's licence and Carr Brothers' tor admitted it had not sel licence, nor asked questions the waste.

Sundorne Products was £10,000 after magistrates to account that Can Brothers on what it was told by Sun EA officer John Batemar "Companies delivering have a duty of care to ensui the company receiving the authorised to do so. Both pal this case failed to do so."
