Fly-tipping

When you pay someone to remove waste from your property, they must be a licensed waste carrier. It is up to you to check they have a licence.

You could be fined or face up to five years in prison if any fly-tipped waste is traced back to your home.

To ensure your waste is disposed of legally:

• check your waste carrier is licensed – you can do this quickly with their name or licence number at hants.gov.uk/fly-tipping
• ask what will happen to your waste – a licensed waste carrier should not object to this
• keep a record of their waste carrier licence – take a photo of the licence or take a screenshot when you check online
• keep a waste transfer note or receipt to say where the waste was collected from, who collected it, and where it is going
