Council to prosecute landfill operators

Environment Waikato is to prosecute Pukemiro landfill operators and their staff for alleged unauthorised landfill activities and obstructing staff in their duties.

Legal action is to be taken against Tracker Demolition Landfill Limited, shareholders and the digger operator for activities at a Pukemiro Rd property. The digger operator has already been charged with assaulting a Waikato District Council staff member.

Action will also be taken against drivers and waste suppliers who have continued landfilling after being told it was unauthorised.
