Rubbish Clearance West Kensington operates as a fully licensed and compliant waste carrier, providing residents, landlords and businesses with a legal and environmentally responsible rubbish removal service. This page explains how we comply with Environment Agency licensing rules, our insurance arrangements, our waste transfer note procedures and the duty of care responsibilities we share with our customers in West Kensington and nearby areas.
Environment Agency Waste Carrier Licence
We are registered with the Environment Agency as an upper tier waste carrier, broker and dealer. This registration permits us to collect, transport and arrange the disposal or recovery of controlled waste from homes, flats, offices, building sites and commercial premises across West Kensington.
Our waste carrier registration number is available to every customer on request and is clearly displayed on our paperwork. Being licensed means we have met the Environment Agency’s requirements regarding identity, business legitimacy and awareness of waste management duties. It also means our details can be checked on the public waste carrier register, giving you confidence that you are dealing with a genuine, lawful operator rather than an unlicensed fly tipper.
We regularly review Environment Agency guidance to ensure our work methods, record keeping and staff training stay fully aligned with current regulations. Where guidance changes, our internal procedures are updated to reflect new standards and expectations.
Legal Compliance With Waste Regulations
Rubbish Clearance West Kensington conducts all operations in line with current waste management legislation and statutory codes of practice. This includes compliance with the Environmental Protection Act, duty of care regulations and relevant regulations covering the handling, transfer and disposal of controlled waste.
Every collection is planned with legal compliance in mind. Our teams separate waste where practicable, avoid mixing incompatible streams and ensure that materials are transported securely. Loads are taken only to authorised waste transfer stations, recycling facilities or disposal sites that are licensed or permitted to accept the types of waste collected.
We do not dispose of waste at unauthorised locations, on private land or on the public highway. We will also refuse jobs where a customer requests or expects us to act in breach of waste legislation. Protecting our licence and the local environment takes priority over short term convenience.
Licensed And Insured Operations
In addition to Environment Agency registration, Rubbish Clearance West Kensington holds appropriate business insurance to protect our customers, the public and our staff. This includes public liability insurance covering accidental damage or injury arising from our rubbish removal activities, and employer’s liability cover for our team.
Insurance cover is kept under regular review and is renewed in good time to ensure continuous protection. Details of our current policy can be provided if required for commercial clients, managing agents, landlords or local organisations seeking evidence of cover before work takes place.
Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard and are insured for business use, including the carriage of waste. Regular vehicle checks help us to comply with road safety laws and reduce the risk of spills or incidents while transporting your waste from West Kensington to approved facilities.
Waste Transfer Notes And Record Keeping
For every load of controlled waste we collect, we ensure that the appropriate documentation is completed in the form of a waste transfer note. Waste transfer notes are legal documents that record how, when and by whom waste has been transferred from one party to another.
Our waste transfer notes typically include details such as the type and quantity of waste collected, its origin, the date and time of collection, the details of the customer, our own carrier registration number and the destination facility that will receive the load. By maintaining clear records, we help create a transparent audit trail for the movement of waste.
Copies of waste transfer notes are stored by our office for the statutory minimum period, and longer where contract requirements specify. Commercial customers who need documentation for their own environmental reporting or compliance checks can ask for copies at any time. This is particularly useful for businesses in West Kensington that must demonstrate proper waste management as part of their own audits or corporate responsibility commitments.
Duty Of Care For Our Customers
The law places a duty of care on anyone who produces or controls waste, including householders, tenants, landlords and businesses. This duty of care requires you to take reasonable steps to ensure that your waste is transferred only to an authorised person and is managed correctly once it leaves your control.
Choosing Rubbish Clearance West Kensington helps you meet that duty. By using a fully licensed and insured waste carrier that keeps accurate records and uses authorised facilities, you can show that you have taken appropriate care over how your waste is handled.
We encourage all customers to ask to see our waste carrier details, to check that the vehicle collecting their rubbish is clearly identified with our company, and to request copies of paperwork where necessary. This simple approach protects you from potential fines or enforcement action that can arise if your waste is later found to have been fly tipped or mishandled by an unlicensed operator.
Local Borough Expectations And Best Practice
Waste and environmental standards in West Kensington are also shaped by local borough expectations on cleanliness, recycling and responsible disposal. We work in a way that supports these aims, helping to reduce illegal dumping and minimise the volume of waste sent to landfill.
Our teams are briefed on local council guidance around fly tipping, parking near collection points, safe loading and considerate working in residential streets. When we operate around busy high streets, estates or conservation areas, we aim to work quickly, safely and with minimal disruption, leaving areas tidy once collections are complete.
Where a job might involve unusual materials or volumes, we take care to confirm that the receiving site is authorised and capable of handling the specific waste stream. This local awareness, combined with our licence and insurance, helps maintain the quality and safety of the environment throughout West Kensington and neighbouring boroughs.
Our Ongoing Commitment
Rubbish Clearance West Kensington is committed to maintaining high standards of legal compliance, environmental care and customer protection. We regularly review our training, processes and partnerships with licensed waste facilities to stay aligned with current regulations and industry good practice.
By choosing a properly licensed, insured and transparent waste carrier, you not only protect yourself from legal risk but also contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable local area. If you have any questions about our licence, insurance, waste transfer procedures or duty of care obligations, our team will provide clear explanations and relevant documentation on request.
