Photographs obtained by Sky News appear to show tonnes of rubbish being dumped at what is understood to be the UK’s newest large-scale illegal waste site – despite an ongoing investigation by the Environment Agency.
The huge waste site – amounting to tens of thousands of tonnes of rubbish – sits right next to the M25, south east of Epping in Stapleford Tawney.
The Environment Agency says it began an investigation in February 2025, but, despite this, the site remains open – and images show a lorry spilling waste at the dump on Friday 6 February 2026.
