Licence and Compliance at Rubbish Clearance Putney

Rubbish Clearance Putney operates as a fully licensed and compliant waste carrier, providing professional rubbish removal services across Putney and the surrounding areas. Our operations are aligned with Environment Agency requirements, local borough expectations, and national waste management legislation to ensure that every collection is handled lawfully and responsibly.

Environment Agency Waste Carrier Licence

We hold a current Environment Agency waste carrier licence, authorising us to collect, transport and dispose of a wide range of non-hazardous household and commercial waste streams. This licence confirms that we are registered and recognised as a legitimate operator, and that we are bound by the legal standards governing how waste is managed from the moment it leaves your premises.

Our licence covers services such as house clearances, garden waste collections, office and shop clearances, bulky item removals, and general rubbish removal. As part of our ongoing compliance commitment, our registration is periodically reviewed to ensure it remains active, up to date and aligned with any changes in Environment Agency regulations.

Customers are encouraged to request our waste carrier licence details at any time. Supplying this information is part of our standard service and helps give you confidence that your waste is being handled by an approved and accountable business.

Legal Compliance and Regulatory Standards

All services carried out by Rubbish Clearance Putney are conducted in line with the key pieces of UK waste legislation and guidance issued by the Environment Agency. This includes following the waste hierarchy, ensuring wastes are taken only to authorised facilities, and preventing fly-tipping or mismanagement of materials.

Our team members are trained in correct waste handling practices, segregation, loading, and safe transportation. Any changes to national regulations or Environment Agency rules are monitored closely, and our internal procedures are updated accordingly. This ensures that collections in Putney, Wandsworth and nearby boroughs meet or exceed the expectations of local authorities and environmental regulators.

We also cooperate, where appropriate, with local council enforcement policies on waste and recycling, helping clients avoid the risks of using unlicensed collectors and reducing the likelihood of fines or enforcement actions related to improper waste disposal.

Fully Insured Waste Clearance Operations

Rubbish Clearance Putney is fully insured to carry out waste clearance and removal services. Our insurance arrangements are designed to protect our customers, the public and our staff while work is being carried out at homes, commercial premises and on the public highway.

This cover includes public liability insurance relevant to the nature of our operations. It offers reassurance that, in the unlikely event of an accident or damage occurring during a rubbish clearance, appropriate protection is in place. Our vehicles are also insured for use as waste collection vehicles, consistent with our Environment Agency licence and transport obligations.

Details of our insurance cover can be made available on request, so that property managers, businesses and domestic clients can include them within their own compliance records, risk assessments or contractor checks.

Waste Transfer Notes and Documentation Procedures

To support full legal compliance, Rubbish Clearance Putney follows structured procedures for issuing and retaining Waste Transfer Notes, often referred to as WTNs. These documents are a vital part of the national waste management system and form the official record that waste has been transferred from you to a licensed carrier.

For each relevant collection, we complete a Waste Transfer Note that includes key information such as the description of the waste, the quantity, the date and time of transfer, and the details of both the waste producer and our business as the carrier. The document will also specify how the waste is classified and the type of premises from which it was collected.

We store these records in line with legal retention periods so that, if requested by regulators or local authorities, there is a clear paper trail showing the movement of waste from your site to an authorised treatment or disposal facility. For commercial and landlord clients, copies of WTNs are made available so they can maintain their own internal compliance files.

Duty of Care Statement

Rubbish Clearance Putney takes the legal duty of care regarding waste very seriously. The duty of care is a continuous responsibility that begins with you as the producer of waste and extends through each party that handles it. Our role is to ensure that, once waste is in our possession, it is managed in a way that protects people, property and the environment.

Our duty of care commitments include:

Assessing the type and quantity of waste at the point of collection, so that it is classified correctly and separated where feasible under the waste hierarchy. Ensuring that only licensed and properly permitted transfer stations, recycling facilities and disposal sites are used to receive the waste we carry. Minimising the volume of material sent to landfill wherever possible, with a preference for reuse and recycling routes when they are available and appropriate. Handling and transporting waste securely to prevent spillages, escapes of litter or other environmental harm during transit through Putney and neighbouring districts.

Our adherence to duty of care principles gives customers confidence that they are not inadvertently contributing to fly-tipping or other unlawful disposal practices, which can attract significant penalties.

Local Borough Expectations and Environmental Responsibility

Operating in Putney and the wider Wandsworth area, we recognise the importance local councils place on responsible waste management and clean neighbourhoods. Our procedures are aligned with the expectations of local environmental services teams, particularly in relation to minimising street obstruction, preventing unauthorised dumping, and protecting residential and commercial environments.

We schedule collections to reduce disruption to local traffic, take care when loading and unloading near residential properties, and make every effort to leave areas clean and tidy after a clearance. Where local borough guidance evolves, especially in relation to recycling targets and environmental quality, we adapt our working methods to stay consistent with those expectations.

By choosing Rubbish Clearance Putney, you are using a waste carrier that combines Environment Agency licensing, insurance, robust documentation and a clear duty of care approach. This helps safeguard your own legal position and supports broader efforts to keep Putney and the surrounding boroughs clean, safe and environmentally responsible.
