Flytipping and Bulky Waste |
|
|
If
you are having building or gardening work done, replacing your kitchen
units or getting rid of your old car, sofa, bed, or any bulky household
items, it is your responsibility to make sure the waste material is disposed
of properly. Remember the cheapest quote is not always the best because:
- If your rubbish ends up dumped in a field it is your responsibility;
you are as liable as the person who took away your waste is. You must
employ a registered waste carrier to take away your rubbish, ask to
see their "Waste Carriers Licence" or "Exemption Certificate".
- Peterborough City Council working with the Environment Agency frequently
examines Flytipped waste. If evidence is found linking the waste to
you, action will be taken against YOU, and you could face fines of up
to £20,000 (in the magistrates Court) and unlimited fines (in
the Crown Court), plus costs.
- As a council Taxpayer in Peterborough you are paying to clear up the
flytipping that others deposit. Flytipping costs Peterborough City Council
on average £59,500 per year.
