Think cheap waste collection is a good deal? Beware: it could turn into fly-tipping. Unlicensed traders who dump rubbish illegally ruin our neighbourhoods and take money away from public services like schools, parks and social care. We’ve launched #FightFlyTipping Fortnight to protect the places we love and stop criminals from trashing them. Here’s how you can help ⤵️ If you see a cheap deal on social media that looks too good to be true, don’t fall for it. Unless they have a licence, you’ll be paying for a criminal to dump your stuff illegally. Take three simple steps before agreeing to a waste collection 1. Ask for a waste carrier registration number 2. Check it on the Environment Agency’s public register (or call 0300 065 3000) 3. Check you’ll get a receipt Protect yourself. Protect your community. Protect your local environment. Join us in the fight against fly-tipping. Say no to a #RubbishDeal.
