About junk & rubbish removal services
The one thing to verify is the waste carrier licence, which is free to check on the Environment Agency register. Householders have a legal duty of care over their waste: if an unlicensed operator fly-tips it, the fine can follow you, and refusing to give a transfer note is the warning sign.
