Himley Environmental, which operated a landfill site next to the pub, has been put into voluntary liquidation following court action over environmental breaches.
At the time of the breaches, the company was controlled by Adam Taylor, who is sole director of the company which bought the Crooked House from Wolverhampton-based pub group Marston's in 2023.
The pub in Himley, near Dudley, which dated back to 1765, was famous around the world as 'Britain's wonkiest pub' due to the mining subsidence which left it 4ft lower on the one side than the other.
Himley Environmental operated the landfill site next to the pub.
A final statement of affairs issued by the liquidator showed that the company had debts totalling £1,222,312 - including £679,616 owed to the Environment Agency.
