Protect yourself from fly-tipping and waste scams!
Did you know that you could be causing a fly-tipping crime? Or prosecuted for causing a fly-tipping crime even if it wasn’t you who actually fly-tipped?
Make sure that you:
✅ Check for official certification from someone removing your household waste items
✅ Take a photo of your waste being taken away, including the registration plate for your own protection (they won’t mind if they don’t have anything to hide)
✅ Ensure you use a licensed provider
🚫 Don’t look the other way
🚫 Don’t get scammed
🚫 Don’t get prosecuted
