🚨 Ever wondered why fly-tipped furniture gets left behind?
There’s often more to waste clearance than meets the eye! ♻️
Certain upholstered items can contain Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), including older flame-retardant chemicals. These can require specialist disposal, increasing costs for legitimate waste clearance companies.
Unfortunately, some people choose to fly-tip rather than pay for responsible disposal. This leaves our streets looking a mess and damages the environment.
✅ Always use a reputable waste carrier.
✅ Don’t be shy — ask your waste carrier to show you their waste carrier registration details! In England, check their registration on the Environment Agency’s public register. Don’t rely on a card alone.
✅ Ask where your waste is going.
✅ Make sure your waste is disposed of legally and responsibly.
🌍 Let’s keep our streets clean and dispose of waste the right way!
