Be clear on the laws regarding your waste it is your responsibility to ensure that you dispose of your waste properly.This means that if you have some waste you need to disposed of, you must make sure that you give it to a proper waste carrier. Proper waste carriers will be registered with the Environment Agency and will take your waste to an authorised site for disposal.
Action will be taken against anyone who has not taken all reasonable measures to make sure that they passed their waste to an authorised person; if prosecuted and convicted the householder could face a fine of up to £5000.
Unfortunately there are many unscrupulous traders collecting waste who persuade householders that they are legitimate waste contractors by using the local papers and other means to promote their services. More often than not these people then go on to fly tip the waste.
It is a legal requirement that Householders make sure that they do all that they can to ensure that they give their waste to a proper waste carrier.
If you are disposing of rubbish or waste follow these simple tips.
- Ensure that you are using a legitimate registered carrier by insisting on seeing the original certificate or card (not a copy) and making a record of their number
- Record the name and address of the contractor
- Record the telephone number of the contractor
- Always get a receipt that includes a company or trading name, address and phone number
Remember people who collect waste have to pay to dispose of it so if it seems cheap then it’s probably too good to be true !!
