A massive mountain of illegal waste in Oxfordshire will be cleared, the Environment Agency says. It says the 'exceptional decision' was made to clear the site because it poses a 'fire risk', adding that it will only take such action in 'truly exceptional circumstances'. The 150-metre long pile of rubbish provoked outrage and experts say it posed a risk to the environment. One man who was arrested as part of an investigation into the dumping of waste has since been released pending further investigation.

A major operation has begun to remove the waste from a giant illegal dump in Oxfordshire. About 21,000 tonnes of mixed domestic and commercial rubbish was dumped in 2025 between the River Cherwell and the A34 near Kidlington. The clean-up, carried out by the tax-funded Environment Agency, will involve the removal of 15-30 lorry loads of the waste each day. The site was first discovered in June, and the clean-up operation follows months of pressure from the local community. It is expected to take about six months to complete. A criminal investigation is underway to catch the perpetrators of waste crime.
