英国启动 Wigan 非法垃圾场大清理：将挖除约1.8万吨垃圾，每天最多清运25车
英国政府11月10日宣布，位于 Wigan 的 Bolton House Road 非法垃圾场清理工作已经开始，预计挖除并运走约18,000吨商业与生活垃圾。
专业清运队目标每天最多清运25车，整个工程预计2027年春季完成。该场地2025年夏季曾发生火灾，迫使附近一所学校预防性停课，政府与 Wigan 市议会因此介入清理。环境署正追查倾倒者，调查中已有5人被捕。
配套打击措施包括：非法倾倒罚款上限拟由现行300英镑提高至5,000英镑，严重犯罪可起诉监禁；上周新设的废物犯罪打击小组（Waste Crime Crackdown Group）首次开会，由环境大臣 Dame Angela Eagle 主持。Eagle 表示，没有社区应该忍受 Wigan 这类非法垃圾场给日常生活带来的痛苦。公众可拨打环境署24小时热线0800 807060举报。（来源：英国环境署）
Major Clean-Up Begins at Illegal Waste Site in Wigan: About 18,000 Tonnes to Be Removed, Up to 25 Lorry Loads a Day
The UK Government announced on November 10 that a major clean-up has begun at the illegal waste site on Bolton House Road in Wigan, where about 18,000 tonnes of commercial and household waste are expected to be dug out and removed.
Specialist clearance teams aim to remove up to 25 lorry loads a day, with the whole operation expected to finish in spring 2027. The site caught fire in summer 2025, forcing a nearby school to close as a precaution, prompting the government and Wigan Council to step in. The Environment Agency is pursuing those responsible for the dumping, and five people have been arrested in the investigation.
Alongside the clean-up, the maximum fine for fly-tipping is to rise from £300 to £5,000, with serious offences prosecutable to imprisonment, and the new Waste Crime Crackdown Group, chaired by Environment Secretary Dame Angela Eagle, held its first meeting last week. Eagle said no community should have to live with the misery that illegal waste sites like this in Wigan inflict on their everyday lives. The Environment Agency's 24-hour hotline is 0800 807060.
