Strict new checks to stop a 'dead dog' from registering as a waste carrier
Legislation will be put forward this week requiring waste handlers to prove they are qualified to transport rubbish - with those granted a new-style permit obliged to display it in their vehicles and on advertising.
Speaking to Sky News last week, Baroness Sheehan, chair of the House of Lords Environment and Climate Change committee, believes reforms are vital.
"We hope very much that they [EA] will carry out the things that they're doing, particularly making sure that the... reforms are brought in, because at the moment that regime is totally broken, where you can register anyone, even a dead dog, as a carrier," she said.

I suppose a St Bernard could carry waste rather than brandy. Less so if dead.
dearieme - then it would have become waste unless there is enough to make a St Bernard fur coat. Lots left over though.
Cue more fly-tipping, by which our masters will be completely puzzled.
Peter - yes it must be a puzzle for them when people avoid taxes which are easily avoided. They will be wanting drones to play with next.
