Rubbish Clearance Kingston operates as a fully licensed and compliant waste carrier, working within Environment Agency regulations and local authority expectations. This page explains our licence status, how we handle your waste responsibly, and the procedures we follow to protect you, your property, and the environment.
We are registered as an upper tier waste carrier, broker and dealer with the Environment Agency. This registration confirms that we are authorised to collect, transport and arrange the disposal or recovery of household and commercial waste in Kingston upon Thames and the surrounding areas.
Our licence details are always available to customers on request, and our teams carry confirmation of registration when attending jobs. You can ask to see our licence information at any time before or during a clearance. We actively encourage customers to check waste carrier credentials so that they do not inadvertently use unlicensed operators.
Operating under an Environment Agency waste carrier licence means we are bound by strict rules on how waste is handled, stored, transported and delivered to authorised facilities. We keep our registration up to date, monitor regulatory changes and review our internal processes to ensure they continue to meet or exceed national standards.
Our business is built around full compliance with UK waste legislation and local environmental policies. We understand the serious consequences of improper waste handling, from fly-tipping and pollution to fines and potential criminal liability. For that reason, we follow defined procedures for every collection, regardless of size or location.
Our team receives regular training on relevant laws and guidance, including the duty of care placed on both the waste producer and the licensed carrier. We make sure that materials are segregated as appropriate, that hazardous items are not mixed with general waste, and that all loads are transported directly to authorised transfer stations, recycling facilities or disposal sites.
Within the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, and neighbouring boroughs that we serve, we are familiar with local guidance on waste storage, access, timing of collections and neighbourhood amenity. Where local requirements go beyond national minimums, we adapt our working methods so that we remain a responsible and considerate operator.
Rubbish Clearance Kingston carries comprehensive insurance suitable for professional waste clearance and related services. This includes public liability cover, ensuring that if accidental damage or injury were to occur in the course of our work, there is appropriate financial protection in place.
Insurance is a key part of our commitment to operating transparently and responsibly. It provides peace of mind for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and public organisations who rely on us to work safely on their premises. We can provide confirmation of cover on request, and we review our policies regularly to ensure they reflect the scope of work we undertake.
Our insured operations complement our licenced status, forming a robust framework of protection for customers, staff and the public. We see this as a baseline requirement for any reputable waste carrier operating in Kingston and surrounding boroughs.
Whenever we remove controlled waste as part of a clearance, we follow Waste Transfer Note procedures in line with legal requirements. A Waste Transfer Note, often referred to as a WTN, records key information about the waste, including its description, quantity, origin, carrier details and the destination facility.
For one-off jobs we issue a single Waste Transfer Note covering the collection. For ongoing or regular commercial collections, appropriate arrangements are made to ensure continuous documentation. These records help to demonstrate a clear audit trail from the point where waste leaves your premises to the site where it is received for treatment, recycling or disposal.
We retain copies of Waste Transfer Notes for the legally required minimum period, and we can provide customers with copies or summaries on request. Accurate record keeping helps protect our customers by evidencing that waste was passed to a licensed carrier and handled within the law.
Under UK waste law, everyone involved in the handling of waste has a duty of care. This includes householders, businesses and licensed carriers such as Rubbish Clearance Kingston. Our duty of care means we must take all reasonable steps to ensure that waste is managed safely, securely and responsibly from collection through to final treatment.
We fulfil this duty of care by checking the status of the facilities we use, following Environment Agency guidance and keeping up to date with any changes in acceptable disposal or recycling routes. We avoid any sites or operators that do not demonstrate clear compliance, and we periodically review the performance and accreditation of our disposal partners.
Customers in Kingston upon Thames, as well as nearby boroughs, are rightly concerned about fly-tipping and environmental harm. By choosing a licensed and responsible carrier, you reduce the risk that your waste might reappear illegally dumped, with the potential for investigation or penalties. Our duty of care processes are designed to minimise that risk, and to support broader local aims for clean streets, safe public spaces and reduced landfill.
Rubbish Clearance Kingston works closely in line with the expectations set by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and neighbouring councils regarding waste management. These expectations include preventing nuisance, avoiding obstruction of highways, respecting collection time windows where relevant, and ensuring that waste is stored and loaded in a safe, tidy manner.
We strive to exceed minimum compliance by promoting recycling wherever practicable, advising customers on segregating materials when it will improve recovery rates, and by discouraging the disposal of items that could be reused. While final decisions on waste destinations sit with authorised facilities, our approach is to support the waste hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle before recovery and disposal.
By aligning our operations with borough-level priorities and national regulation, we play an active part in maintaining a cleaner, more sustainable local environment. Our teams understand that every job, from a small domestic clearance to a larger commercial project, contributes to the wider picture of how waste is managed in Kingston and beyond.
We encourage all customers to verify the status of any waste contractor they are considering. You are entitled to request details of our Environment Agency registration and our insurance arrangements. Rubbish Clearance Kingston is open about these credentials, and we are happy to answer questions about how your waste will be handled.
By instructing a fully licensed, insured and compliant operator, you protect yourself from the risks associated with illegal dumping, inadequate documentation and uninsured work. Our Licence and Compliance commitments are designed to give you confidence that when you choose Rubbish Clearance Kingston, your waste is managed lawfully and responsibly from start to finish.
