Bracebridge and Manse Neighbourhood Board

The Bracebridge and Manse Neighbourhood Board would like to wish all of our amazing community a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

The Environmental Crime Partnership are urging people not to get caught out using an unlicensed ‘man with a van’ to take away their waste this Christmas.

If fly-tipped waste is traced back to you, you could receive a fine or prosecution.

Whether you’re throwing out old toys, making space for new ones, or just getting rid of household rubbish, please make sure you know where your waste is going and check that anyone removing waste from your property is authorised.

Your waste, is your responsibility. This means you must ensure all your household rubbish is disposed of properly and legally.

Don’t get caught out – follow the S.C.R.A.P code:

Suspect all waste carriers. Don't let them take your rubbish until they provide proof of registration. Note their vehicle's registration plate
Check that a waste carrier is registered on the Environment Agency's website - https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register
Refuse any unexpected offers to have your rubbish taken away
Ask how your rubbish will be disposed of - seek evidence of this
Paperwork must be obtained: a proper invoice, waste transfer note or receipt, including a description of the waste being removed and the waste carrier’s contact details

Remember, if someone has offered to collect your waste and the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Legitimate waste carriers will be happy to provide proof that your waste is being legally disposed of.

Merry Christmas to everybody and a healthy and prosperous New Year
