Check who you pay to take your rubbish away
If you pay someone to remove rubbish from your home, always:
- Ask to see their waste carrier licence
- Pay by card or bank transfer
- Get a waste transfer receipt
Or better still, use a LAWCS member. The Leeds Accredited Waste Carrier Scheme helps residents find someone local, legal and responsible to take away excess waste.
Alternatively, Leeds City Council 8 household waste recycling centres are free to use and open 7 days a week.
