THE final closure of a controversial tip has been confirmed by the Environment Agency.
From January 1, operator City Plant Ltd will no longer be able to deposit general waste at Gilberdyke Landfill Site next to the M62.
It will only be allowed to proceed with capping the site to seal the waste site for restoration to a natural appearance.
The Environment Agency permit change was issued because, as the company said would happen between November 2012 and February 2013, the site has reached its maximum capacity.
