Having waste removed? Protect yourself from fly tipping criminals: ❗️Don’t use doorstep cold-callers. 📱 Avoid social-media adverts where you can’t confirm their licence details. 🙅‍♀️ Don’t pay cash for rubbish removal. ✅ Always check that anyone offering to take your rubbish, including tradespeople, are licenced ‘waste carriers’ at tinyurl.com/Waste-Licence. #RubbishDeal #Flytipping #Devon @SouthHams_DC @eastdevon @WestDevon_BC @MidDevonDC @ExeterCouncil @torridgedc @Teignbridge @DevonWildlife @DevonLNP @dartmoornpa @EnvAgency @nfusouth @CLAtweets

Need to move rubbish quickly? Don’t be tempted by social media scammers! If an offer seems too good to be true – it probably is. If dodgy dealers fly tip your waste, you could get stuck with a £600 fine. Always check for a valid waste carriers license: tinyurl.com/Waste-Licence #RubbishDeal #Flytipping #devon @SouthHams_DC @eastdevon @WestDevon_BC @MidDevonDC @ExeterCouncil @torridgedc @Teignbridge @plymouthcc @devonclimate @DevonLNP @DevonWildlife @dartmoornpa @EnvAgency @nfusouth @EnvAgencySW @CLAtweets @TradStandSW
