Get a quoteRubbish Clearance Croydon operates as a fully licensed and compliant waste carrier, providing residents and businesses with a lawful, safe and responsible rubbish removal service across Croydon and surrounding areas. This page explains our Environment Agency registration, how we comply with current waste regulations, the insurance cover we hold, our waste transfer note procedures, and our commitment to duty of care from collection through to disposal.
We are registered with the Environment Agency as an upper tier waste carrier, broker and dealer. This means we are legally authorised to collect, transport and arrange the disposal or recovery of household, commercial and construction waste in England, including the London Borough of Croydon and neighbouring boroughs.
Our registration confirms that we have provided the Environment Agency with the required business details, that we are permitted to carry controlled waste, and that we are bound by the conditions of the waste carrier licensing regime. The licence is renewed in accordance with Environment Agency requirements and our details can be checked against the public waste carrier register at any time.
When we attend your property or site, our team can provide confirmation of our waste carrier registration on request. Customers are encouraged to ask for this, as using an unlicensed operator can expose you to enforcement action if your waste is later found to have been fly-tipped or mishandled.
Rubbish Clearance Croydon conducts all operations in strict accordance with current waste management legislation and guidance issued by the Environment Agency and relevant local authorities. Our systems and working practices are designed to ensure that every load we collect is handled, transported and transferred lawfully.
Key aspects of our legal compliance include:
Segregation and classification of waste: We assess the type of waste being removed, separating recyclable materials where practicable and identifying any special or restricted items that require particular handling or disposal routes.
Use of authorised facilities: All waste is taken only to appropriately licensed waste transfer stations, recycling facilities or disposal sites. We do not use unlicensed yards or informal tipping points, ensuring that the waste we collect is processed within the regulated system.
Accurate documentation: We complete and retain the required paperwork for each job, including waste transfer notes for non-hazardous waste and other records where relevant. This documentation supports regulatory compliance and provides a full audit trail from collection to final destination.
Adherence to carriage and transport rules: Our vehicles are suitable for waste carriage, maintained in safe condition and operated by trained staff who understand both road safety and waste handling obligations.
To protect our customers, the public and our staff, Rubbish Clearance Croydon maintains comprehensive insurance cover appropriate to our operations. This typically includes public liability insurance for work carried out at homes and business premises, along with cover related to the carriage of waste.
Our insurance arrangements are reviewed periodically to ensure they remain appropriate in scope and value as our services develop. Customers can request confirmation of our insurance cover, and we are happy to provide evidence to commercial clients or property managers who require it as part of their own compliance procedures.
By maintaining adequate insurance, we demonstrate professional responsibility and provide additional reassurance that our activities are managed with proper regard for health, safety and risk management on every job.
Waste transfer notes play a central role in demonstrating that waste has been passed from the producer to a registered carrier and then on to an authorised facility. At Rubbish Clearance Croydon we have clear procedures for creating, completing and storing waste transfer notes for the non-hazardous waste we collect.
For each relevant load, our waste transfer note will usually include:
Details of the waste producer or holder, including business name where applicable.
A description of the waste, including the type, quantity and, where relevant, the European Waste Catalogue code.
The date and time of transfer, along with the place where the waste was collected.
Our Environment Agency waste carrier registration details.
Confirmation of the destination facility, such as a licensed transfer station or recycling centre.
We ensure that the information on the note is accurate and that the person transferring the waste to us understands and agrees with the description of the materials being collected. Copies of waste transfer notes are retained for the statutorily required period so they can be produced in the event of an inspection by the Environment Agency or local authority officers.
Everyone who produces, carries or receives waste has a legal duty of care to see that it is managed properly and does not cause harm to human health or the environment. Rubbish Clearance Croydon takes this duty of care seriously and has built its procedures around fulfilling these responsibilities at every stage.
Our duty of care commitments include:
Ensuring that all waste we collect is kept secure in our vehicles and containers during loading, transport and unloading so that nothing escapes or is deposited unlawfully.
Confirming that each facility we deliver to is authorised to accept the type of waste in question and operates to appropriate environmental standards.
Reducing the volume of waste sent to landfill wherever possible by prioritising reuse and recycling routes where suitable infrastructure is available.
Informing our customers about their own duty of care, including the importance of using a licensed carrier and obtaining proper documentation for larger or commercial clearances.
By following these principles, we help prevent fly-tipping, pollution and other environmental harm, while supporting a responsible approach to resource management in Croydon and the wider region.
In addition to national legislation and Environment Agency requirements, Rubbish Clearance Croydon recognises and supports the expectations of the local authority in maintaining clean streets, safe public spaces and compliant waste handling practices.
Our teams operate with consideration for Croydon borough policies on waste, recycling and environmental quality. This means coordinating with local facilities, avoiding obstruction of roads and pavements during collections, and treating local neighbourhoods with respect by working tidily and removing all agreed waste from site.
We understand that both residents and businesses in Croydon rely on reputable waste carriers to help them meet their own responsibilities. By operating transparently, providing clear paperwork and maintaining current Environment Agency registration, Rubbish Clearance Croydon offers a compliant and reliable service that aligns with borough expectations for lawful rubbish clearance.
