You must make sure your rubbish is being legally disposed of. If it is illegally dumped, you could be fined up to £50,000.
Before you book
Check if a person or business is on the register of waste carriers, brokers and dealers on the environment agency website.
If the company is registered, you must also:
- ask where your rubbish is going
- make a note of their vehicle licence number
- keep hold of paperwork
- get a receipt
A trusted waste collector will happily answer your questions. Do not be afraid to ask.
