If you suspect that your waste carrier is unlicensed, it's important to act promptly to avoid potential legal issues. Businesses are responsible for checking that the waste carrier they employ is licensed, and using an unlicensed carrier can result in serious penalties.
Here’s a quick guide on what to do if you have concerns:
| Action | Details |
|---|---|
| Verify License | Check that your waste carrier is registered on the waste carrier register. |
| Documentation | Ask for a Waste Transfer Note (WTN) that should describe the waste being transported and be signed by both parties. |
| Report | If you find the carrier unlicensed, you can report this to the council. |
Remember, employing unlicensed carriers puts you at risk for penalties, including fines. Make sure to stay informed about your responsibilities by checking the Welwyn Hatfield Council waste guidance.
