What can you do to prevent criminality in waste activities?

If you require your waste to be moved or disposed of make sure that you employ a registered waste carrier, use an authorised waste management facility, landfill or exemption.
We publish a list of current registered waste carriers and current waste management facilities or landfills and exemptions on our public registers page.

Make sure that you receive a Waste Transfer Note (.PDF 12Kb)Opens in new window. from the carrier or authorised waste facility for your waste. You must keep the note for two years.

Make sure that you check that the carrier is taking your waste to an authorised waste management facility or landfill.
Note: Sites receiving hard fill such as rubble, or being infilled with clay, for development must have at least a current waste management exemption.

If you are in any doubt about the legality of a waste activity contact the Environmental Crime Section immediately.
