The fine was issued under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act
2005 which also covers the Control of Pollution Act 1989.

The spokesman added: “All people carrying waste commercially must have
a licence. This allows them to dump waste at the tip without paying
any extra — but they must have a waste transfer note from the tip.

I'd love to dispose of customers waste for them as part of a quality
service. Alas, licence or not, all our local tips have a height barrier and
don't allow commercial vehicles in.

Your post has prompted me to e mail our local council to ask where I could
take waste should ihave a licence - no mention of licence application,
location of tips on their web site.

and informed people at the area forums when the 2005 act came in.”
