Europe reveals that waste disposal companies from Germany, Austria and Italy continue to export old tyres and other waste – in some cases toxic – to the Czech Republic.

Over the past two decades, millions of tonnes of waste have been dumped in Mydlovary – including significant volumes from neighbouring Germany, a country championed for its waste separation and recycling systems. According to the managing director of one German waste disposal company, Mydlovary is ‘the biggest hole in Europe’ for rubbish dumping.
