Protect yourself from fly tipping fines!

Fly tipping is the illegal disposal of waste anywhere other than a legal waste transfer station. Common places for fly tipped or 'dumped' waste can be in lay-bys, car parks and open land. It is illegal and breaks many waste management laws resulting is significant fines or in some cases prison time!

Use a LICENSED WASTE CARRIER! The environmental protection act of 1990 requires all households and businesses to dispose of their waste with a licensed waste carrier.  You can check if the company you want to use is  licensed by visiting www.enviroment.data.gov.uk simply search for the company name. You can also ask for proof from the company. This might be a card or a certificate from the environment agency.

Unfortunately in most circumstances yes! All registered waste carriers must dispose of their waste at a waste transfer station and as you can guess this is not cheap! That is why a legitimate waste management company will have slightly higher prices. If you have been priced £50 for van load the waste will more than likely end up in a field! You can ask for a waste transfer note which anyone collecting or disposing of waste must give the customer upon request. A waste transfer note will provide information such as: The company who collected your waste and the waste transfer station your waste has gone to. This is a smart way to keep yourself covered.
