Householders’ Duty of Care
Important! Householders now have
a legal responsibility to make sure that only registered Waste
Carriers collect their waste. Search the
Environment Agency public register of those with a Waste
Carriers Licence. Anyone offering a waste collection service such
as odd jobbers, gardeners, or builders needs a waste carriers
licence, so if anyone takes waste away for
you always remember to:
- ask to see their waste carriers licence and make note of the
number
- ask for a company headed receipt
- note down telephone number and vehicle registration
If your waste carrier does not have the correct licence, and
then disposes of your waste illegally (fly
tipping), you as the householder will be held responsible and
may be liable to prosecution and could be fined up to £5,000.
