Choosing the correct waste disposal company for you can take a little research but the outcomes could be devastating for your bank balance and even result in you breaking the law.

Check They Hold a Licence

Has the carrier got a valid waste carrier’s licence? You can check on the Environment Agency website to see if a particular carrier is licensed to operate as a waste carrier.

Ask What Waste Types They Accept

Don’t assume every waste disposal company will be able to take your particular type of waste, whether it’s mixed loads of general waste, construction waste or other types such as hazardous waste like asbestos or chemicals.

Look for Transparent Pricing

Reputable companies will always give you a clear quote whether this is a fixed price for a collection or a price per weight. Be wary of companies that give you a rough estimate only to be followed by a host of additional surcharges for things such as fuel, disposal of waste and even minimum loads.

Consider Local Knowledge

They should have knowledge of the Waste Disposal Norfolk schemes including the location of local recycling centres and permitted waste transfer / landfill sites across the county.
