How do I choose a trustworthy waste clearance?

Compare the public evidence on each profile — how many independent reviews they have and across how many named platforms, the rating and how recent it is, any verified credentials, and the company record. A waste clearance backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one with a single listing.

Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend waste clearances for payment?

No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Waste clearances are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence — no one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.

Where do the reviews come from?

They're imported from named public review platforms and always shown with the source named — they aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.

What should I check before hiring a waste clearance?

Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the waste clearance, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence — it doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.

How to judge a waste clearance

Independent, no-ads guidance — the trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

Check they hold an Environment Agency upper-tier waste carrier registration — search the public register at environment.data.gov.uk before handing over any cash.
Ask for a waste transfer note at the end of the job — it is a legal document proving your waste was taken to a licensed facility, not a lay-by.
Look for 20 or more recent reviews mentioning punctuality, whether the full load was taken, and whether the site was left tidy.
If your clear-out includes a fridge, tyres, or old paint, confirm the trader holds the correct additional authorisation for hazardous or WEEE items.

Warning signs of a cowboy

No Environment Agency carrier registration number — without it you could face a council fine of up to £600 if the waste is fly-tipped, even though you paid for it to be removed.
Quote given over the phone but the price doubles at the door once they have 'reassessed the volume' — demand a written, itemised quote before they start.
Cash only, no paperwork, no waste transfer note offered — the hallmarks of a rogue operator who plans to dump your waste illegally.
No traceable business presence — no Companies House registration, no address, just a mobile number found on social media.

Questions to ask before you hire

What is your Environment Agency waste carrier registration number, and can you show me its expiry date?
Will you give me a waste transfer note at the end of the job as proof of legal disposal?
Is your quote fixed, or could it change once you see the load in person?
Do you have the correct authorisation to take away fridges, tyres, or old paint if any of those are in my clear-out?
