Neath Port Talbot Council’s Waste Enforcement team has crushed multiple vehicles as part of its ongoing crackdown on fly-tipping. The action took place at a recycling centre in Gorseinon on Tuesday, after the vehicles were traced to three separate fly-tipping incidents in the county.
The footage, shared by Fly-tipping Action Wales, shows the moment the vehicles were destroyed — sending a clear message to offenders and highlighting the council’s tough stance on illegal waste disposal.
The vehicles were seized under environmental enforcement powers and crushed on-site. Officials say the operation is part of wider efforts to protect the local environment and deter repeat offences.
A spokesperson for Fly-tipping Action Wales said:
“This footage shows the consequences of fly-tipping and the proactive steps being taken to tackle it. Neath Port Talbot Council is leading by example in holding offenders to account and keeping communities clean.”
The council has carried out several enforcement actions in recent months, with support from national agencies. Fly-tipping remains a criminal offence and can result in fines, prosecution, and vehicle seizure.
