Private waste contractors

If you choose to use a private waste collector to get rid of any rubbish, you have a legal duty to check that the person or business is a registered waste carrier.

If you don’t check, you could be fined if your rubbish is found to be illegally dumped somewhere. You can check their vehicle registration online.
