50,000 Tons of Hazardous Waste Found in Nottinghamshire | Nottingham News

Fifty thousand tons of hazardous waste, including cancer-linked carbon tetrachloride, have been dumped illegally in Ranskill, Nottinghamshire—right behind fields and near wildlife, with ducks swimming in toxic streams. Discovered in December 2025, the site has triggered a criminal investigation as local officials call it disgraceful. Authorities served a stop-dumping notice in March 2026, but questions remain about why it went unnoticed longer. Suspects may be linked to Manchester, where two men were arrested in January 2026 on related dumping charges—though no direct connection has been confirmed. The Environment Agency is ramping up efforts to shut down further dumping and identify those responsible, warning waste crime is on the rise.
