Looking for a trusted registered waste carrier in Surrey or London? Othan Metal and Recycling Ltd are fully licensed by the Environment Agency with an Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence. We collect domestic and commercial waste legally, issue Waste Transfer Notes for every job, and offer same-day collections across the region.
A registered waste carrier is a company that the Environment Agency has approved to collect and move waste legally. In the UK, no one can pick up or transport waste without a valid licence. If they do, they are breaking the law.
Two types of licences exist:
We hold an Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence. This is the highest level a waste carrier can hold. It means we are fully allowed to collect waste from your home or business and take it to a licensed facility.
You can do an Environment Agency waste carrier check on their official website. Search our business name or registration number to confirm our licence is active and valid.
Using the wrong company can cost you more than just money. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, you have a legal Duty of Care for your waste. That responsibility stays with you even after someone collects it.
If an unlicensed carrier dumps your waste illegally, you can be fined. Fixed penalties start at £400. Court fines can reach £5,000 for individuals and £50,000 or more for businesses.
Always do a waste carrier registration number check before you book. It takes two minutes on the Environment Agency’s public register. A fully licensed waste removal company will always give you its registration number straight away. If they hesitate, walk away.
We are an Environment Agency-registered waste removal service. We share our registration number freely. We also issue a Waste Transfer Note after every collection. This is your written legal proof that your waste was removed and disposed of the right way. Keep it on file.
We are fully registered, insured, and ready to collect your waste legally. Every job we do follows UK waste law from start to finish. No shortcuts. No excuses.
