You can easily check if a waste carrier is authorized by looking them up on the Environment Agency's public register. This ensures that anyone you're considering to collect waste from your property is properly licensed.
Here’s a quick guide on how to check:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Visit the Environment Agency public register here |
| 2 | Enter the name of the waste carrier or their registration number |
If you suspect you're dealing with an unauthorized waste carrier, it's best to avoid their service. Always make sure to request a waste transfer note and keep a record of who collected your waste, as this can protect you from potential fines.
