Man Fined €100K for Burning Sheep's Wool, Violating Circular Economy Act
Firefighters in Hoopte recently tackled an unusual blaze involving sheep's wool. The incident, which occurred on September 27, 2025, was found to be a violation of the Circular Economy Act, with a 58-year-old man held responsible. The man now faces a hefty fine for the unauthorized burning.
The fire was caused by the man burning sheep's wool, a practice prohibited by the Circular Economy Act. This act mandates that waste, including wool, must be disposed of via approved facilities only. Recycling centers across the region accept wool waste, often free of charge or for a small fee. If no other use is found for the wool, it can be composted or disposed of according to waste regulations.
Specialized waste disposal companies handle the proper treatment of such waste. In this case, the man's actions resulted in an unattended fire, which could have had severe consequences. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Burning waste or illegally dumping it in nature can lead to severe penalties, as can filling up other people's trash cans.
The man responsible for the fire has been fined up to 100,000 euros. This serves as a reminder that waste, including wool, should be disposed of properly. Bulky waste collection services offer a safe and legal way to have larger items picked up for disposal. Always check local regulations and use approved facilities to dispose of waste.
