  1. Anti Fly Tipping Association Fly-tipping is a significant blight on our environment; it’s a source of pollution, a potential danger to human health and a hazard to wildlife. The Anti Fly-tipping association is not just another ‘logo’ to add to your website. It tells potential customers that you abide by the laws under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and your business is part of an association that is actively committed to raising continuous awareness to both the business operator and the consumer to the huge negative social and financial repercussions fly-tipping has on all our communities. www.afta.org.uk

  2. Only our committed members have full use of the AFTA logo, either on their websites, vehicles, or printed documents, to positively broadcast their ongoing commitment to our environment and send out a clear signal to customers that you have been successfully verified.Householders are becoming increasingly worried when it comes to hiring tradesmen who remove ANY type of waste from their premises. They have a good reason to be worried as more and more householders are being traced and prosecuted for not ensuring that the businesses they hired were legitimate. The media and the Environment Agency are keen to highlight these prosecutions. www.afta.org.uk

  3. The new regulations on the carriage of waste mean that any tradesman who removes any kind of waste from your property (whether it’s their waste or yours) has to hold a Waste Carriers License. This includes house clearance, man and van rubbish removers, cleaning companies, carpet fitters, plumbers, landscape gardeners, scrap metal dealers, skip hire, builders, and more. As a householder, under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, you are responsible for what happens to your waste, even after it has left your premises. Only legitimate operators are allowed to deposit other people’s waste at approved recycling centres. You could face an unlimited fine if your waste ends up fly-tipped and you cannot show that you took reasonable steps to prevent it. In 2016/17 local authorities in England dealt with around 1 million (1,002,000) fly-tipping incidents, a 7% increase from the previous year. www.afta.org.uk
