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.
