About 9 Alert 9 Community Police – Information Update

Dear {FIRST_NAME},

 

White Van Man- Who is responsible?

 

Need rubbish removed? Always make sure the person you are paying is a registered waste carrier.

Many people unknowingly hand waste to unlicensed collectors, for it to be illegally dumped elsewhere. If your waste is fly tipped, you could still be held responsible. 

Before handing over your rubbish:

  • Ask to see their waste Carrier Licence
  • Check their registration online.
  • Ask where your waste is going.
  • Keep a receipt or record of payment.
  • Remember! 

    Paying someone to take your waste away does not remove your legal responsibility to ensure it is disposed of correctly. 

    Think before you pay, its not just the cost, it is the consequences.
