The UK government will introduce stricter background checks for waste carriers after a cow was mistakenly granted a license, with new laws requiring identity verification, criminal record checks, and competency assessments before permits are issued. The changes, set to take effect in 2027, aim to crack down on illegal dumping and fly-tipping by imposing prison sentences for violations and requiring operators to display permit numbers publicly.
