Environmental offences such as fly-tipping are to be punished by larger fines under new sentencing guidelines for courts in England and Wales.

New guidelines from the Sentencing Council cover a variety of offences related to the disposal of waste and rubbish mostly covered by the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010.
