A resident in Shirebrook has paid a £200 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) after their waste was found fly tipped on Wood Lane.

Our officers gathered evidence from the waste and launched an investigation and the resident admitted they transferred their waste to a waste collector but failed to check the waste collector was properly licensed to collect and transport waste.

If you want to pay someone to collect and dispose of your waste, then it is your responsibility to check to ensure they are a licenced waste carrier. Residents can check if a collector is licenced using the public register on the Environment Agency website (opens in a new window). You should also gather as much information as possible including any vehicle registration so they can be traced if your waste ends up fly tipped.

We offer a bulky waste collection, which can be booked by telephone on 01246 242424 or our Self Service Portal (opens in a new window).
