It was the Rogue Trader part of the program where Matt and Dan uncover traders who charge too much and also can put peoples health at risk.
The item was about a man and van who pick up house hold rubbish and charge the public for moving it. It is then tipped somewhere else and the local councils have to pick up the costs.
This idiot had asbestos roofing in his latest fly tipping spree.
The program pointed out how dangerous this is.
Well done BBC for covering this story so well and being very informative about asbestos.
Hopefully more people will see this and change their mind about fly tipping.
The guy got a 2 year prison sentence, but has he got a life long sentence of never knowing if he has exposed himself to this danger and likely to get Mesothelioma in the future...I hope he learns a very valuable lesson.
