Warning to all re Fly-Tipping:
If you require removal/disposal of your waste and you choose to hire someone through facebook i.e. Man & Van, make sure you ask to see their waste carrier registration/license.
There is a lot of fly tipping going on all over the UK and this is mainly due to unlicensed individuals taking on waste disposal jobs, receiving the money and then dumping the rubbish in laybys, fields, lanes etc
You as members of the public have a duty of care to check who you are hiring to remove YOUR rubbish...
Fines can be issued if it can be proven it's your rubbish that has been fly-tipped and you can't prove you hired someone to do it i.e. paid in cash
Rule of thumb:
If someone is offering to do it way cheaper than everyone else then there normally is a reason for it.
Tip: Get someone who has been recommended by others or ask to see their waste carrier registration/license. If they have one they shouldn't have an issue to prove it
