BEWARE OF BOGUS WASTE COLLECTORS

Do not use unlicensed waste collectors for waste removal and disposal

• Using unlicensed waste collectors is illegal

Recognise unlicenced waste collectors

• Unlicensed waste collectors often advertise through flyers in mailboxes
• Unlicensed waste collectors’ services include removing all types of waste and cleaning out garages

Ensure any waste collector you use carries a valid waste permit at all times

• Check that the permit number, name, and address are displayed on the collection vehicle
• Verify that the waste collector is licensed to remove household and commercial waste
• Look for this licensing information on the first page of their permit
