Anyone who generates waste now has a Duty Of Care to ensure it is disposed of correctly and transported by a registered waste carrier to its place of final disposal. This means that if you give your waste to someone to dispose of, they must do so correctly.      As well as businesses, this applies to householders who pay companies to remove waste from their property. Remember, all green material such as tree cuttings or waste material generated as part of building work is classed as waste. If you employ a builder or a tree surgeon, for example, they too must be licensed to carry waste from your premises.     Before giving your waste to any company, check that they are a registered waste carrier.  If waste from your premises is discovered illegally deposited you may face prosecution for not complying with your duty of care to that waste. Ask any tradesperson where they will be disposing of the waste produced and if they are licensed to carry it.
