Rubbish Clearance Kensington operates as a fully licensed and compliant waste carrier, providing rubbish removal and clearance services in line with Environment Agency regulations. Our commitment to lawful, transparent and environmentally responsible waste management underpins every collection we undertake in Kensington and the surrounding London boroughs.
We hold a current Environment Agency waste carrier licence, authorising us to transport and manage controlled waste from households, landlords, businesses and construction sites. Our licence confirms that we have formally registered as a waste carrier, have met the regulatory requirements set by the Environment Agency and are recognised as a legitimate operator in the waste sector.
Our licence permits us to collect, carry and arrange the disposal or recovery of a wide range of non-hazardous waste streams, including general household rubbish, bulky items, garden waste, light construction waste and commercial waste. We keep our licence details up to date, renew on time and ensure that all relevant staff understand the conditions that apply to licensed waste carriers.
Customers in Kensington, Chelsea and neighbouring boroughs are encouraged to use only licensed carriers to avoid the risks of fly-tipping and unlawful disposal. You can request our waste carrier registration details at any time, and we are always happy to confirm our licence status before starting work.
Legal compliance is central to how Rubbish Clearance Kensington operates. We follow all relevant waste management laws and guidance, including regulations administered by the Environment Agency, local authorities and other regulatory bodies. This includes complying with rules on waste transport, storage, segregation, disposal, and record-keeping.
Before each job, we assess the type and volume of waste to ensure it is suitable for collection under our licence and that we can move it to an appropriately permitted facility. We do not carry or handle waste streams that require specialist hazardous waste licensing. Where a customer’s waste falls into a specialist category, we will advise them to use a properly qualified provider.
Our teams are briefed on waste hierarchy principles, prioritising reuse and recycling wherever practical and directing residual waste to authorised treatment or disposal facilities. We only use fully licensed waste transfer stations, recycling centres and disposal sites. We monitor any changes in regulation affecting waste carriers, updating our procedures and staff training as needed to maintain full compliance.
To protect our customers, staff and the public, Rubbish Clearance Kensington operates with appropriate insurance cover in place. This includes public liability insurance for our waste clearance work, so that if an incident occurs during a collection or when we are working on your premises, there is a clear framework for handling any valid claim.
We complete risk assessments for the tasks we carry out, including assessing access routes, manual handling requirements, and any site-specific hazards that may affect our teams or your property. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard, and our drivers hold the correct category of licence and training to operate safely on public roads and at waste facilities.
This combination of insurance and practical risk management helps ensure that our operations are carried out professionally and safely, giving customers in Kensington and surrounding boroughs confidence when choosing us as their licensed waste carrier.
Waste Transfer Notes are a core part of our compliance system. Whenever we collect waste from a commercial customer, landlord, managing agent or other non-household client, we produce and retain the required documentation describing the waste and recording the transfer.
Our Waste Transfer Notes typically include key information such as the date and time of collection, the description and classification of the waste, the quantity or volume, the place of origin, details of the transferor and the licensed carrier, and confirmation that the duty of care has been addressed. These records help show that waste has been passed to a legitimate carrier and that it will be taken to an authorised facility.
For regular commercial customers in Kensington, we can put in place ongoing or annual Waste Transfer Notes where appropriate, simplifying repeated collections and ensuring continuity of documentation. We store our records for the legally required retention period and can provide copies on request for auditing, internal compliance checks or local authority enquiries.
Household customers will also receive basic information confirming who has taken their waste and the nature of the service provided. Although domestic waste collections may not always require a formal Waste Transfer Note in the same way as commercial transfers, we treat all documentation seriously and maintain clear records of where waste comes from and where it is sent.
Our duty of care to customers, the community and the environment extends beyond simply holding a licence. We recognise that every person or business producing waste has a legal and moral responsibility to ensure that it is handled correctly. By choosing Rubbish Clearance Kensington, you are working with a provider that actively supports you in meeting this duty.
We aim to maximise reuse and recycling opportunities wherever they are feasible, for example by selecting facilities that separate materials for recycling, and by segregating waste streams where practical at the point of collection. Our teams are trained to recognise common recyclable materials and to avoid mixing them unnecessarily with general residual waste.
We never fly-tip, burn waste, or dispose of rubbish in any unauthorised location. We also encourage customers to provide accurate information about the waste they need removed, so that we can plan appropriate vehicles, containers and routes that minimise environmental impact and ensure legal compliance at every stage.
Operating in Kensington and neighbouring London boroughs means working closely with local expectations for waste and environmental standards. Local councils place strong emphasis on preventing fly-tipping, controlling noise and disruption, and protecting residential streets from irresponsible waste activity.
We schedule collections in a way that respects local neighbourhoods, avoiding unnecessary obstruction of roads and pavements and ensuring we leave collection points tidy once we have removed the agreed waste. Where borough guidance covers specific materials, such as electrical items, bulky waste or green waste, we align our procedures with those local expectations while still following overarching Environment Agency rules.
By maintaining clear communication with customers, upholding our waste carrier licence conditions and respecting local borough standards, Rubbish Clearance Kensington provides a compliant, reliable and responsible rubbish clearance service that supports both legal obligations and community wellbeing.
