Rubbish Clearance Enfield operates as a fully licensed, insured and compliant waste carrier, providing responsible rubbish removal services across the London Borough of Enfield and nearby areas. This page explains our Environment Agency registration, our legal obligations, and the procedures we follow to handle, transport and dispose of waste correctly and safely.
We are registered with the Environment Agency as an upper tier waste carrier, broker and dealer. This registration confirms that we are authorised to collect, transport and arrange the disposal or recovery of controlled waste from homes, businesses, landlords and construction sites.
Our licence details are held on the Environment Agency’s public register of waste carriers. Customers can request our registration number and verify it directly with the Agency. We are committed to keeping our licence current, renewing it in line with regulatory requirements and updating it if our business details change.
Holding a valid waste carrier licence means we have met the basic legal requirements for transporting waste in England. It also places ongoing responsibilities on us to handle waste correctly, to keep appropriate records and to only use authorised disposal or recycling facilities. We take these obligations seriously and build them into our everyday working practices.
Our operations comply with the key pieces of environmental and waste legislation that apply to rubbish clearance companies in Enfield, including national regulations and guidance produced by the Environment Agency and local authorities. We review official guidance regularly to ensure that our procedures stay up to date as regulations evolve.
In practice, this means we only collect waste that we are authorised to handle, we segregate and store materials safely in our vehicles, and we take waste directly to appropriately licensed transfer stations, recycling facilities or disposal sites. We do not fly-tip, burn waste illegally or use unregulated outlets. Every load we carry is logged and documented as part of our compliance system.
Where specific waste streams are subject to additional controls, such as electrical items, certain construction waste or hazardous materials, we follow the relevant guidance and, where needed, work with specialist partners who hold the correct permits. We will always advise customers if a particular item requires special handling or cannot lawfully be taken as part of a standard clearance.
Rubbish Clearance Enfield is fully insured for the work we undertake. Our insurance arrangements include public liability cover, protecting customers, members of the public and neighbouring properties in the unlikely event that anything goes wrong during a collection. Cover levels are set to be appropriate for the type and scale of work we carry out, including domestic, commercial and light construction clearances.
We take a health and safety led approach to all clearances. Our teams are trained in safe lifting, loading and transport of waste, as well as in the secure operation of vehicles and equipment. We aim to minimise disruption at every site, manage traffic and access sensibly, and leave areas clean and tidy once the job is complete.
Insurance, safety and environmental compliance are treated as connected responsibilities rather than separate issues. Proper training, planning and supervision reduce the risk of accidents, protect the environment and help ensure that waste is handled legally at every stage of the process.
For commercial customers and for many larger domestic jobs, we issue Waste Transfer Notes, often called WTNs. These are legal documents that record the transfer of waste from the customer to us as the licensed carrier. They help demonstrate that everyone in the chain has met their duty of care for that load.
A typical Waste Transfer Note will describe the type of waste, how it is contained or packaged, the quantity, the date and time of collection, and the details of both the waste producer and Rubbish Clearance Enfield as the carrier. The WTN may also identify the destination facility, such as a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, and any applicable classification codes.
We keep copies of Waste Transfer Notes and related records for the periods required by law. This ensures that if the Environment Agency or a local authority audits our operations, we can demonstrate the route each load has taken from the customer to its final authorised destination. Customers may request copies of WTNs for their own records, particularly where they need to prove compliance for internal audits, landlord obligations, or accreditation schemes.
Everyone who produces waste, whether a household, a business or a landlord, has a legal duty of care to make sure that their waste is handled correctly. Using a licensed and compliant carrier such as Rubbish Clearance Enfield is a key part of fulfilling that duty of care.
We support customers in meeting their responsibilities by explaining what types of waste we can take, advising on segregation where appropriate, and providing the necessary documentation for collections. When we collect waste, we take on a share of the duty of care, ensuring that it is transported safely to qualified facilities and managed in accordance with environmental regulations.
Our aim is to make compliance straightforward. By choosing a licensed carrier and keeping any receipts or transfer notes we provide, customers can show that they have taken reasonable steps to prevent their waste from ending up in the wrong place. This is especially important in areas like Enfield where unauthorised tipping can lead to enforcement action against both rogue carriers and, in some cases, the original waste producer.
The London Borough of Enfield and neighbouring councils expect waste carriers operating in their areas to work to high environmental standards. This includes the proper use of authorised facilities, efforts to maximise recycling, and the avoidance of any practices that might lead to fly-tipping, littering or nuisance for local residents and businesses.
Rubbish Clearance Enfield supports these local expectations. We work only with licensed waste transfer and disposal partners, and we plan our routes and collection schedules to minimise disruption in residential streets and busy commercial areas. Where possible, we prioritise recycling and resource recovery in line with regional waste strategies and the wider objectives of the Environment Agency.
By maintaining open communication with customers and operating transparently, we aim to contribute positively to the cleanliness and environmental quality of Enfield and surrounding boroughs. Our commitment to licensing, compliance and responsible conduct underpins every clearance we undertake.
Environmental legislation and local policies evolve over time. Rubbish Clearance Enfield is committed to reviewing our practices regularly, monitoring updates from the Environment Agency and local authorities, and adjusting our procedures when necessary. Staff receive periodic training on legal changes, safe working methods and best practice in waste management.
By continuously improving our systems and staying alert to regulatory developments, we aim to offer customers a service that is not only convenient and cost-effective but also legally sound and environmentally responsible. Our licence and compliance responsibilities are central to how we operate, and we encourage customers to contact us if they require further information about our registration, insurance or documentation procedures.
