SCRAP STALBRIDGE!​
A message from Dorset Council.
"Your waste, your responsibilities".
As a householder, rubbish you've handed to someone else is still your legal responsibility until it is correctly disposed of. If someone - such as an unlicensed 'man in a van' found online - were to fly-tip that waste, you could end up paying a fine or being taken to court.
Make sure you are covered when handing over your waste: -
• Suspect all waste carriers until they have provided their licence
• Check their licence details on the public register for waste carriers
• Refuse unexpected offers to take your waste away
• Ask how your rubbish will be disposed of
• Paperwork – get an invoice or receipt for the waste they’re taking, including their contact details.
If a builder, tradesman, gardener etc. transports waste on your behalf, such as debris left over from a job they've done for you - they also need to be registered as a Waste Carrier and dispose of any materials in a responsible manner.
You can check a Waste Carrier Licence below or scan the QR code from the post pic.
