 Britannia dispose of old fridges at sites in the North West |
The Environment Agency is prosecuting a Greater Manchester firm for alleged offences involving scrap fridges. Britannia Import and Export at Ledbury Road, Failsworth, faces four charges and its company director faces one charge.
The firm is accused of unlawfully depositing scrap fridges on an unlicensed site at Monarch Mill in Royton, Oldham.
It also faces three charges relating to a site in Gould Street, Oldham, including failing to comply with a Waste Management Licence over keeping records and breaching "duty of care" obligations.
Britannia's director Robert Bulcock, of Broad Lane, Rochdale, is charged in connection with the firm's Waste Management Licence breach.
The Environment Agency says that the offences took place between February 2000 and November 2002.
The case will be heard before Oldham magistrates next month.
In an unrelated incident, a fire at the firm's depot in Chadderton last week is under investigation.
