Dirty Business

What’s behind the growing mountain of illegally dumped waste that’s blighting Scotland? Samantha Poling reveals how organised crime gangs are raking in a fortune from our rubbish, making millions while the environment is trashed. She goes on the trail of some of the gangs involved in waste crime, uncovering a huge illegal landfill overflowing with waste that should have been recycled, and she tracks down one of the biggest sites of illegal dumping in Scotland. Disclosure hears from investigators with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency who are tasked with tackling the criminals and finds a growing problem that is harming our communities and environment.
