Verify the registration
On the public register, before booking.
The fine that lands on the householder
Someone else dumped it. Under the duty of care, that can still be your problem.
How we work
Check the registration, keep the note
The household waste duty of care is widely unknown and genuinely enforced. Pass your rubbish to someone who is not a registered waste carrier, and if it turns up fly-tipped in a lane, the penalty can be issued to you — because you did not take reasonable steps to check where it was going.
That makes two unglamorous documents the most valuable part of this service: a carrier registration you can verify on the Environment Agency's public register, and a transfer note naming the carrier and the destination. The cheapest quote in a van with no paperwork is cheap because it has skipped both.
The other thing worth refusing is work that needs a specialist. Asbestos, clinical waste, chemicals and gas cylinders all require licensed handling, and a general clearance firm that takes them anyway is gambling with its crew and with wherever that material ends up.
Our principles
Three beliefs behind the method
Keep the transfer note
It is your duty-of-care evidence.
Refuse hazardous work
Asbestos needs a licensed specialist.
