Rubbish Clearance Streatham operates as a fully licensed and compliant waste carrier, working in line with Environment Agency regulations and local authority expectations in Streatham and the surrounding boroughs. This page explains our licensing status, legal responsibilities, insurance cover, waste transfer note procedures and the duty of care we apply to every collection.
We are registered with the Environment Agency as an upper tier waste carrier, broker and dealer. This registration allows us to collect, transport and arrange the disposal or recovery of a wide range of non-hazardous and certain controlled waste types arising from domestic, commercial and light construction activities in Streatham and nearby areas.
Our waste carrier registration is kept up to date at all times. We renew promptly when required and notify the regulator of any significant business changes. Customers can request our current licence number and registration details at any time and we will provide them on request as part of our commitment to transparency.
Using a licensed carrier is a key way for households, landlords, small businesses and contractors in Streatham to demonstrate that they take their responsibilities seriously. When you book with Rubbish Clearance Streatham you are choosing a service that has been formally registered with the relevant environmental regulator.
We handle all waste collections in accordance with applicable environmental and waste management legislation. This includes compliance with current waste regulations, duty of care requirements, and the proper segregation, storage, transport and handover of waste materials.
Our team receives ongoing training in waste handling regulations so that collections are undertaken correctly and in line with best practice. We follow guidance from the Environment Agency and apply it to our daily work, with specific attention to the correct classification of waste streams, responsible routing of loads to authorised facilities and accurate record keeping.
We recognise the important role that local authorities such as Lambeth Council and neighbouring boroughs play in monitoring waste activities and tackling fly-tipping. We cooperate with council officers whenever necessary and structure our operations so that they support local environmental protection and street scene standards.
Rubbish Clearance Streatham carries appropriate insurance cover for our waste clearance operations. This includes public liability insurance to protect customers, the public and property while our teams are working on site.
Our insurance arrangements are reviewed regularly to ensure that the level of cover is suitable for the types of work we carry out, from small domestic clearances to larger commercial or office clearances. Documentation confirming our insurance can be supplied on request to commercial clients, managing agents, landlords and site managers who require evidence of cover before work begins.
By ensuring that we are both licensed and insured, we provide customers with a professional and responsible alternative to unregulated operators, helping to reduce the risk of environmental damage and legal consequences linked to improper waste disposal.
A key part of our compliance is the correct use of Waste Transfer Notes, sometimes referred to as WTNs. A Waste Transfer Note records the transfer of waste from the producer or holder to Rubbish Clearance Streatham as the carrier, and from us to the authorised disposal or recovery facility.
For relevant collections, we create and maintain Waste Transfer Notes that contain accurate descriptions of the waste, the quantity, the date and place of transfer, and the details of both parties involved. Where appropriate, we also record the European Waste Catalogue codes that apply to the material collected, ensuring that waste is identified consistently and correctly.
These notes are retained for the legally required minimum periods so that there is a clear audit trail of how and where waste has been handled. Businesses, landlords and contractors in Streatham who need copies of their Waste Transfer Notes for their own records or for compliance checks can request them from our office.
We also ensure that any facilities receiving waste from us are properly licensed or permitted to accept those materials. This means that the paperwork we generate accurately reflects a chain of custody that is compliant from the initial collection right through to the final treatment or disposal stage.
Our duty of care is central to how Rubbish Clearance Streatham operates. The law requires anyone who produces or handles waste to take all reasonable steps to keep it safe, and we take this responsibility seriously on behalf of our customers.
Before any collection, we assess the type of waste that needs to be removed and discuss any special requirements, such as separation of recyclable materials, bulky items, electrical items or construction waste. Where items need specialist handling or cannot legally be collected under a standard waste carrier licence, we will make this clear and advise on the correct route for disposal.
During loading and transport we take practical steps to prevent spills, littering and loss of material. Vehicles are loaded securely and covered where appropriate to avoid any waste escaping into the street or wider environment. This approach reflects both our legal duty of care and our desire to protect the appearance and cleanliness of Streatham and neighbouring districts.
On arrival at authorised recycling, transfer or disposal facilities, we follow site rules and ensure that waste is deposited in the correct areas. We prioritise routes that maximise recycling and recovery wherever viable, supporting wider borough and regional targets for waste reduction and resource efficiency.
Streatham sits within an area where local councils place strong emphasis on tackling fly-tipping, encouraging recycling and holding waste producers and carriers to account. We align our operations with these expectations by ensuring that every load we collect is accounted for, and that none of it is illegally dumped or passed on to unregulated third parties.
We encourage our customers to ask for evidence of licensing whenever they book a clearance service, whether with us or another provider. Doing so helps prevent illegal dumping on local streets, on private land or in green spaces, and supports the efforts of Lambeth and neighbouring boroughs to keep communities clean and safe.
By choosing Rubbish Clearance Streatham as a licensed and insured carrier, customers can be confident that their waste is being managed in a way that is fully aligned with Environment Agency rules and local borough expectations.
Compliance is not a one-off exercise but an ongoing process. We regularly review our procedures for licensing, documentation, staff training, vehicle standards and site selection so that they remain up to date with changes in law and guidance.
