To check a waste carrier's license, you need to provide certain details to ensure compliance with legal requirements. Namely, you should gather information on the waste collection person or company, such as:
| Information Needed | Details |
|---|---|
| Collector's Name | Ensure you have the full name of the collector. |
| Waste Carriers License Number | Check if they have a valid license. |
| Details of Collection | Document what they collected and when. |
| Disposal Location | Know where your waste will be taken. |
It's advisable to keep records of these interactions, and don't hesitate to verify their license, as using an unlicensed waste carrier can lead to a £600 fine. If you want to verify a license, you can do so quickly online at the Environment Agency's public register.
