Private waste contractors
If you choose to use a private waste collector to get rid of any rubbish whilst the tip operation is restricted, 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.
