Householder duty of care

If your waste is fly-tipped, you may be asked what checks you made before handing it over. The good news is that a few simple steps can protect you.

Use a registered waste carrier

Before booking, ask for the carrier's licence number and check it against the public register. Keep a note of the number with your booking details.

Keep proof of collection

Ask for a receipt, invoice or message confirming who collected the waste and when. For larger jobs, ask where the waste is being taken.

  • Business name and phone number
  • Vehicle registration if possible
  • Date, time and collection address

Be careful with very cheap cash offers

A price that seems too good to be true can be a warning sign. Proper disposal costs money, especially for mattresses, fridges, rubble and mixed loads.
