Three people face criminal charges for illegally dumping more than 10,000 tonnes of suspected hazardous waste in eastern China's Jiangsu Province.

The defendant, surnamed Zhou, deputy general manager of the Yangzhou Changqing pesticide company had an agreement that Houhe Chemical Plant in Jingjiang City would dipose with more than 10,000 tonnes of hazardous waste from September 2005 to July 2011, but knew that the chemical plant was not qualified to do so.

At the beginning of 2012, the Houhe Chemical Plant became a piggery and was bought by a man from southwest China's Yunnan Province in February 2015. On learning hazardous waste was buried on the farm, the owner reported the case to the local environmental protection department in July 2015.
