Unlicenced House Clearance and Rubbish Removal Companies are often just a man and van trying to make a quick buck. They will be unable to tip anything legally at an authorised waste transfer station. Transfer stations can only take in waste from licenced carriers. Often an unlicenced operator will massively undercut a legitimate business. They can do this because they do not have the same overheads and will usually fly tip your stuff on a quiet country lane. You may think to yourself, well that's their problem. You would be wrong in thinking this. it is actually YOUR responsibility to ensure the person dealing with your clearance is licenced. In order to be sure you should always ask for proof of their waste carriers licence and also proof of insurance. If the stuff does get fly tipped, you must be able to prove you have done your due diligence as investigators could trace any fly tipping back to you. You would be just a liable as the person fly tipping.
