The Environment Agency has begun an investigation into the illegal dumping of waste on land at Midland Road in central Bradford, West Yorkshire. Reports received on 1 July 2026 described several thousand tonnes of mixed household and commercial waste on the site. Agency officers are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to identify the responsible parties and trace the landowner, ensuring the site is secured. The investigation is coordinated with Bradford Council, West Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Agency, as part of its 10‑Point Plan to tackle waste crime, urges the public to report any information or sightings related to illegal dumping, suspicious waste movements, or unlicensed operators to Crimestoppers or the Environment Agency incident line. The Agency is working to assess environmental impacts and strengthen prevention and enforcement measures.
