Without lawful excuse, Lewis, 59, who worked for site contractor SITA UK, damaged and destroyed property belonging to Calderdale Council at the site to the value of up to £400,000 in a “systematic” rampage.

The recycling centre will be closed until at least November as repair works are carried out.
