Household Rubbish Clearance and Flytipping

Guard against YOU being fined!

The law now states that if you have any of your rubbish removed and it ends up being flytipped, you could be held responsible and fined. When dealing with waste removal services or tradesmen where rubbish will be generated e.g. builders, plumber, gardening contractors, always ask for a valid waste carriers licence. Householders should follow these 4 simple steps to help protect yourself and the environment.

1. Ask for their waste carrier registration number.
2. Check the number with the Environment Agency (click here) or by calling 08708 506506.
3. Keep a note of all the information you receive from the waste collector/tradesman.
4. If they're not registered don't use them. Inform Clean Kent of the rogue trader immediately by calling 0845 345 0210.
