Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

    In England and Wales, you must only give household waste to someone authorised to take it, such as a registered waste carrier. Ask for their registration number and check it.

  2. Scrapping a car

    A car must be scrapped at an authorised treatment facility, which gives you a Certificate of Destruction. You must also tell DVLA.
