Two scrap dealers have been told by the authorities to get a licence – or risk legal action.
All recyclers in the Boston area are being urged to follow rules that ensure scrap metal is dealt with properly – or end up facing a fine.
The warnings have been issued by Boston Borough Council, Lincolnshire County Council and the Environment Agency, which have all been checking out sites around the town to ensure people are abiding by the rules.
They have also been clamping down on vehicle dismantling to ensure it is carried out without harming environment.
The warning comes after the three agencies made visits in the area which resulted in two dealers being issued with enforcement letters and scrap metal licence application forms. The maximum fine following conviction for an offence of operating as a scrap metal dealer without a licence is £5,000.
The borough council confirmed that enforcement action would be taken against an operator who has been given advice regarding applying for a licence but who failed to act upon this advice.
Fiona White, Boston Borough Council's principal licensing and land charges officer, said: "We initially visited and offered advice to some of the scrap metal dealers in Boston.
"Dealers who are not licensed have been issued with enforcement letters and application forms. If they fail to regularise their activities in line with the legislation they face fines of up to £5,000."
