You have a legal responsibility, or Duty of Care, to make sure that all waste from your household or business is disposed of correctly.
You could face prosecution and a fine of up to £5,000 if your waste ends up fly-tipped.
Always check your waste is being disposed of by a registered waste carrier, otherwise you risk your waste being fly tipped. Anyone employed to remove waste from your home or business must have an ‘Upper Tier waste’ licence that will start with CBDU. You can check the register of waste carriers on the Environment Agency website here.
