A SERIES of crackdowns on illegal dumping of waste has taken place at public recycling sites.

Seven stop-and-search operations were carried out on vehicles as they entered household waste sites in February, March and April as part of Operation Luton.

The waste they were transporting was inspected by officers from East Sussex County Council to see if it was trade waste, which is not allowed at any of the 12 household waste recycling sites provided by East Sussex County Council.
