Why Choose Bell Skips In Birmingham – Waste Carrier Licence
If you employ someone to remove waste, and it is not disposed of correctly, and it is traced back to you. It is you who will be prosecuted and fined.
Below is an outline of what can happen to you when you do not use a licenced waste carrier
For anyone who wonders if anyone does get prosecuted for using an unlicensed waste carrier.
For Householders (Residential)
On-the-spot fine (Fixed Penalty Notice): Usually £300 to £400 (depending on the local council) issued as an alternative to going to court.
If prosecuted in court: The maximum penalty is an unlimited fine (previously capped at £5,000, but now unlimited in both Magistrates’ and Crown Courts).
For Businesses (Commercial)
If prosecuted in court: The maximum penalty is an unlimited fine.
Because businesses are held to a much stricter legal standard, courts routinely issue massive fines to businesses that bypass licensed disposal routes to save money
If the unlicensed carrier “Fly-Tips” your waste
If you hire an unlicensed carrier, and they illegally dump (fly-tip) your waste, you can be prosecuted as if you dumped it yourself.
Under prosecution for fly-tipping, you face:
An unlimited fine.
Up to 12 months in prison (if decided in a Magistrates’ Court) or up to 5 years in prison (if escalated to a Crown Court).
Being forced to pay the full clean-up and investigative costs incurred by the council or the Environment Agency.
Always check the Environment Agency’s Public Register to verify a carrier’s licence number before letting them load your waste.
