Check a waste carrier's licence
If you hire a business or trader to dispose of your waste, it is your responsibility to ensure they have a valid waste carrier’s licence. If they dispose of your waste illegally, you will also be liable and could receive a big fine.
Check the Environment Agency’s register of waste carriers
You can also check by calling 03708 506 506.
