The problems seem to be
that there aren't any specific machines to mine scrap heaps designed. So they have to use normal earth moving equipment which doesn't really like having fridges dropped on it.
Plus asbestos and trapped methane gas.
Still those problems could be sorted fairly easily with a bit of thought.

They should take 'urban mining' one step further and recycle Sunderland

it's not usually recycled from toilet paper.
