Skips in Tonbridge | Keep Waste Disposal Legal by Using a Skip Hire Service
Fly-tipping can result in a fixed penalty notice of £1,000, up to an unlimited fine should the case go to a Crown Court, and as many as 5 years in prison. If you have waste to dispose of, choosing skip hire services can alleviate any concerns you may have. Westerham Skips is a local waste management company offering local services to people from local towns and villages, including those based in Tonbridge.
A skip hire service sees our company delivering a unit in a size to suit the scale of the project, and then collecting it when full.
Unfortunately, some people from Tonbridge make the mistake of hiring an unlicensed operator thinking it will save them money. Sadly, most of these operators will dump waste illegally instead of taking it to a licensed waste transfer station in the areas for correct disposal.
Protect your reputation by calling Westerham Skips today.
To transport waste, and to dispose of it at licensed waste transfer and recycling centres in the Tonbridge area, a company must have received a waste carrier’s licence from the Environment Agency. Any company that offers waste disposal services without this licence is likely to be operating fraudulently and, in turn, will most likely dump waste in public areas. This spoils the appearance of the area and has a harmful impact on local ecosystems and the environment.
This won’t be a problem when you choose Westerham skips.
With a licensed and professional skip hire service, you can place a waste consignment into a delivered unit knowing that once it has been collected, it goes to the appropriate facilities for disposal.
In addition to avoiding financial penalties and imprisonment, there is a certain reassurance that comes with skip hire that you won’t find with an unlicensed operator. Choosing Westerham Skips is about more than legalities, however, and you can take comfort from the fact that your decision will be one that is also ethical in design.
The same decision keeps the Tonbridge area looking neat and tidy.
Choosing a Licensed Operator
The simple thing to do when you need to dispose of waste is to call a skip hire company like Westerham Skips. We can discuss the sizes of our skips over the telephone and help you to calculate the load based on estimated black bin bag sizes. We supply midi, mini and maxi skips, which can be delivered to any location in Tonbridge on a same-day or next-day basis, or on agreed dates and at agreed times.
If you ever have any doubts as to whether or not an operator carries the appropriate license, please consider the following:
- Check the public register to see if the company is listed
- Ask the operator to see a copy of the licence
- Call the Environment Agency to verify a company’s credentials
If prices are unusually low, if the company fails to provide details or if you aren’t offered a waste transfer note, it is best to avoid using operators of this kind, and to call Westerham Skips instead.
We offer licensed skip hire and waste management services.
