Use a registered waste carrier to collect your rubbish
You can use Love Junk to find a registered waste carrier to collect your rubbish.
You have a legal 'duty of care' to make sure your household or business waste is disposed of correctly.
You need to follow the 'SCRAP' guidelines:
- Suspect all waste carriers. Don't let them take your rubbish until they provide proof of registration. Note their vehicle's registration plate.
- Check that a waste carrier is registered on the Environment Agency website.
- Refuse any unexpected offers to have your rubbish taken away.
- Ask how your rubbish will be disposed of and ask for evidence.
- Paperwork must be obtained: a proper invoice, waste transfer note or receipt, including a description of the waste being removed and the waste carrier’s contact details.
