“Only £40 cash, mate. We’ll sort it.”

Translation: they’ll dump it, and you’ll get the fine!

Don’t fall for a #RubbishDeal — if there’s no licence or receipt, it’s not legit.

Help stop fly-tipping and keep our community clean.

Having a pre-Christmas clear out? Don’t get caught out by a #RubbishDeal

If you hand your rubbish over to an unlicensed waste carrier – and they dump it illegally – YOU could be held responsible.

Protect yourself and your community. Say no to a rubbish deal.
