If you’re moving house, renovating or need waste gone quickly, don’t let a tempting price rush you into making the wrong choice.
Our research found that just 9% of people who had previously used a private waste collector checked the Environment Agency’s official register - and 38% worried that rubbish they’d paid someone to remove may have been dumped irresponsibly.
The good news? There are three simple checks you can make.
Before you hand your rubbish over to someone you’ve found online:
✅ Ask for a waste carrier licence
✅ Check the number on the Environment Agency register
✅ Check you’ll get a receipt
It takes minutes and could stop your rubbish ending up fly tipped in your local community.

💷 Fly-tipping isn’t just an eyesore, it’s a waste of money for everyone.
Councils spend up to £150 million every year clearing illegally dumped rubbish.
That’s money that could otherwise help fund vital public services such as 🏫 schools, 🌳 parks, 🏥 hospitals and 🫶 social care.
Keep Britain Tidy’s latest research found councils estimate rogue traders and commercial operators are responsible for more than a third of fly-tipping incidents.
So if you’re offered a cheap deal, check who you’re paying to take your rubbish away.

Protect yourself. Protect your community. Protect your local environment.

👀 What is the ad not telling you?
A cheap price and promise of a quick collection won’t tell you where your rubbish will end up.
Rogue waste traders can look like legitimate businesses online, but they’ll take your money and then dump your rubbish illegally in streets, parks and lay-bys.
That’s why it pays to check before you book.
✅ Ask for a waste carrier licence
✅ Check the number on the Environment Agency register
✅ Check you’ll get a receipt

If someone won’t give you the information, don’t hand over your rubbish.

🚩 “Cheap prices.” “Cash deals.” "Same-day collection.”
When you need rubbish gone quickly, a cheap, quick deal can be hard to resist. But rogue traders can use convincing online ads and tempting offers to seem just like legitimate businesses.
So, before paying someone to take your rubbish away, ask for their licence number, check it on the Environment Agency register and make sure they’ll give you a receipt.
Remember: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
A few simple checks can protect you and your community from fly-tipping.

🚨 Would you be able to spot a rubbish deal?
Rogue waste traders don’t always look like criminals. A professional-looking ad, ‘five-star’ reviews, a tempting price and quick collection can all make a trader look legitimate.

But what happens to your rubbish once it leaves your hands? That good ‘deal’ could end up with your waste being fly-tipped in a local street, park, field or even a graveyard.

This Fight Fly-tipping Fortnight, we’re helping residents spot the warning signs of a waste scam and showing you how to protect yourself, your community and your local environment.

Whenever you’re hiring someone to collect your rubbish:
✅ Ask for a waste carrier licence
✅ Check the number on the Environment Agency register
✅ Check you’ll get a receipt

Don’t just trust the ad. Check the trader.
Don’t fall for a
