What to check before hiring

  • Ask for their waste carrier licence number and check it on the Environment Agency, SEPA, NRW or NIEA public register
  • Ask for a waste transfer note or receipt showing where the waste goes: you can be fined if it is fly-tipped
  • Check public liability insurance and that the quote says whether loading and sweeping up are included

What we check: Every waste removal company's waste carrier licence is checked on the public register (Environment Agency, NRW, SEPA or NIEA), along with photo ID and £1m public liability insurance.

Appliance clearance: questions people ask

Do clearance companies need a licence?

Yes. Anyone who carries waste for payment in the UK must hold a waste carrier licence from the Environment Agency, SEPA, NRW or NIEA. HelloPros asks every clearance pro for their licence number before they can bid, and you can check it on the public register.

Can fridges go in a skip?

No. Fridges and freezers contain gases that must be removed at a licensed site, which is why they need a specialist collection rather than a skip.

Do I need to disconnect it?

Switch it off and, for a washing machine, turn off the water. The pro will disconnect hoses and carry it out; defrost a freezer the day before if you can.

What happens to the rubbish?

A licensed carrier takes it to a transfer station or recycling centre and can give you a waste transfer note. Reusable furniture and working appliances are often donated or recycled. If waste is dumped illegally, the householder can be fined, so always use a licensed pro.
