If you’re a local business, landlord, tradesperson or organisation in Gateshead, it’s not enough to just get rid of rubbish — you need to do it legally, safely, and with the environment in mind. Hiring a licensed waste carrier isn’t just the “eco-conscious” thing to do. It’s a legal requirement, and getting it wrong can come with serious consequences.
At NE Wasteaways, we offer eco-friendly waste removal that’s fully compliant, fully licensed, and trusted by businesses across the North East. Whether it’s regular bin collections or full commercial clearouts, we make it easy to stay on the right side of the law (and the planet).
What Is a Licensed Waste Carrier – And Why Does It Matter?
A licensed waste carrier is authorised by the Environment Agency to legally transport and dispose of waste. It sounds boring, but it’s absolutely essential.
Here’s why:
- It’s illegal to use an unlicensed carrier
- You (the customer) are still liable if your waste is fly-tipped
- Proper paperwork = proof you disposed of waste responsibly
- It shows your customers and community that you care about doing things right
As a fully licensed waste company, we issue waste transfer notes on every job and divert as much material as possible from landfill. That means peace of mind and sustainable waste collection you can trust.
