Waste disposal is a required part of service that APS has had to offer our clients, however they are unaware of the regulations that we have to follow, the guidelines are always changing and public awareness is not always good.

This page has been developed for everyone's information. This page is for waste management guidelines and general information to enhance public knowledge for waste disposal and collections within their homes, these sites which have been linked are responsible for there own advice and content.

Already Property Service has provided this web page for our clients and the publics right to find all relevant information easily and promote knowledge, also to show the concerns of change which may affect the current ways we dispose of our every day waste.

City residents also need to be aware they are committing a crime by using cheap but unscrupulous \ man and van\ services for house clearances.

The Council often has to deal with dumped bulky items which appear to be the result of house clearances carried out by rogue traders who sell valuable items and fly tip the rest.

Householders should always check that anyone offering to their remove household or construction rubbish is a registered waste carrier licensed by the Environment Agency.

Before paying someone to remove your rubbish, you should always ask to see their registration document or ask them for their unique carrier number. You can check that this is valid on the Environment Agency website or by calling them on 08708 506 506.

Householders who break these rules face a £300 fixed penalty fine from the Council or prosecution with a maximum fine of £5,000 if convicted. Council officers who deal with fly tipped rubbish always search for evidence which may link it either to the fly tipper or to the house or commercial premises it came from.
