Llandovery business fined £100 for waste offence

A Llandovery business has been fined £100 for failing to have proper arrangements in place for the disposal of its waste.
The owner was issued with a fixed penalty notice by council environmental enforcement officers.
All businesses must have an agreement in place with a fully licensed waste company to make sure that any waste produced during the course of their business, is stored, transported and disposed of without harming the environment; known as their ‘Duty of Care.’
Executive Board Member for Environmental and Public Protection Cllr Jim Jones said: “The business in question was given 21 days to resolve the issue; however it failed to do so and was fined as a result.
“The majority of businesses in Carmarthenshire are compliant with the legislation but we will not hesitate to take action against those who are not.”
