Anyone carrying waste for business must be registered with the Environment Agency. Ask for the registration number and check it on the public register before you book.

Listed because each one could be traced to a primary source on the date shown. That is a check on who they are, not a recommendation — it says nothing about the quality of anyone's work. Use the questions below before you hire.

Where you stand

What the rules say

Anyone who carries away someone else's waste must be a registered upper-tier waste carrier. Carrying waste without it is an offence with an unlimited fine — and the liability does not stop with them. If your waste is fly-tipped, you can be prosecuted for failing to check who took it.

How to check

Search the Environment Agency register by postcode with a radius. It is free, it is the actual statutory register, and it is the easiest check on this whole page.

What to ask for

Ask for their waste carrier registration number and check it yourself before they load anything. Ask where the waste is going.

Worth knowing. This catches more trades than people expect. A gardener taking away your clippings, a builder removing rubble, a man-and-van doing a house clearance — all need upper-tier registration. Many operating locally do not have it.
