Fly Tipping Epidemic: Why It’s Crucial to Use a Licensed Waste Removal Company Like Samco Services
Fly tipping has become a serious issue across the UK, especially in local communities like Crawley, East Grinstead, and the surrounding areas. Unscrupulous individuals and unlicensed operators are dumping waste in country lanes, woodland areas, and even residential streets—damaging the environment, harming wildlife, and costing councils (and taxpayers) millions to clean up.
At Samco Services, we are committed to doing things the right way—no fly tipping, ever. We are fully licensed waste carriers, registered with the Environment Agency, and dedicated to disposing of all waste legally, ethically, and with full traceability.
The Growing Problem of Fly-Tipping
Fly tipping isn’t just unsightly—it’s illegal and dangerous. Dumped waste can include:
- Hazardous materials like asbestos or chemicals
- Sharp or broken items that pose safety risks
- General household waste attracting vermin and pests
- Furniture and appliances that become environmental hazards
Recent figures from local councils show a significant increase in fly-tipping incidents, particularly in rural areas and outskirts of towns like Ashurst Wood and Felbridge. Unfortunately, this rise is partly fuelled by rogue traders offering “cheap” rubbish removal services and then dumping the waste illegally.
Why It’s Important to Use a Licensed Waste Removal Company
When you book a house clearance or rubbish removal, you are legally responsible for where that waste ends up—even if someone else takes it away. If your waste is found fly-tipped and traced back to you, you could face fines of up to £5,000.
That’s why it’s vital to use a trusted and fully licensed company like Samco Services. We hold a full Waste Carrier Licence issued by the Environment Agency, which means:
- We’re authorised to transport, carry and dispose of waste legally
- We use only approved waste transfer stations and recycling facilities
- We provide full documentation and peace of mind with every job
