These 3 simple checks take minutes — but could save you £££ and keep criminals out of your home. If you don’t check who takes your rubbish, you could be fined when it’s fly-tipped. Don’t get caught out — avoid a #RubbishDeal

Fly-tipping isn’t just ugly — it’s costly. 💸 It costs the UK over £100m a year — money that could go to 🏫 schools, 🌳 parks & 📚 libraries. Say NO to rogue operators. Say YES to cleaner communities. ️ Report it 👉 www.gov.uk/report-flyti...

"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 #RubbishDeal.

We’ve launched #FightFlyTipping Fortnight to protect the places we love and stop unlicensed traders dumping our rubbish, ruining neighbourhoods & costing public services. Take 3 steps: 1️⃣ Ask for their licence 2️. Check it’s valid 3️. Get a receipt Read more here bit.ly/4odr65A
