This was alongside council environmental and waste teams who stopped and checked vehicles carrying waste to ensure that they had the correct insurance and licences in place. Sergeant Paul Brady of the Rural Engagement team said this time all the drivers but one of the vehicles stopped were found to have the correct licences and insurance. Regrettably, several new fly-tipping sites were located. Councils further check whether a waste management licence is in place. This means you must check to make sure the firm or person you employ holds a waste carrier’s licence.
