Did you know that under UK law, householders are legally responsible for where their rubbish ends up? If an unlicensed trader dumps your waste in a back alley or on Dartmoor, you can face an unlimited fine or prosecution.
How to Protect Yourself
- Ask for a Licence: Always check that the clearance provider holds an Environment Agency Waste Carrier Licence.
- Get a Waste Transfer Note: Keep receipt records showing where your waste was taken.
- Avoid Cash-in-Hand "Cheap Cash Deals": Unusually low quotes often indicate illegal fly-tipping.
