🚨 It is ‘Fight Fly-Tipping Fortnight’ and we are asking:

“Would you know a Rubbish Deal if you saw one?”

Rogue waste collectors don’t look like criminals. They can hide behind professional-looking ads, ‘five-star’ reviews, tempting prices and speedy collections.

But it could end with your stuff being dumped in a local street, park or field.

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.
