Anyone can say they are licensed. Here are the numbers, and the registers you can check them on without taking our word for it.
The carrier registration covers collecting waste — including waste somebody else produced — and moving it. The two exemptions cover holding a load securely at our own site before it goes on to a permitted facility.
They do not cover treating, sorting or processing waste, and we do not do any of it. That is why there is no recycling figure on this site: we do not process anything, so we have no rate of our own to quote. Loads go to Beddington Energy Recovery Facility (permit EPR/BV7722ID), which is an energy recovery plant — your waste is burned to generate electricity, which is recovery rather than recycling. Both words mean something specific and we would rather use the right one.
When we complete a collection we issue a waste transfer note in your name, by email and on your account. That is the document that proves your waste left you legally, and it is why a registered carrier costs more than a man with a van. If yours has not arrived, ask and we will send it.
You keep it. If your waste is later found fly-tipped, the note is what shows it left you through a registered carrier — householders and businesses both carry a duty of care for their own waste, and the note is how you discharge it.
The business is insured. We are not publishing a cover figure here, because a number on a web page proves nothing on its own — if you need the certificate for your own records, ask and we will send it.
