But there is another question that is just as important:
Where does your waste actually go once it leaves your property?
At Cage Waste Removal, we believe responsible waste removal should provide a clear and traceable journey from collection through to sorting, recycling, recovery and final disposal.
A Waste Carrier Licence Is Only Part of the Story
Using a registered waste carrier is essential, and customers should always check that the company collecting their waste is properly authorised.
A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) is also an important part of demonstrating that waste has been transferred correctly.
However, these are only part of responsible waste management.
Customers should also consider what happens after the vehicle leaves their property. Who receives the waste? Where is it taken? How is it sorted? And what happens to the different materials afterwards?
Knowing the answers provides much greater confidence that your waste is being handled responsibly.
Your Duty of Care Doesn’t End at Collection
Under UK waste regulations, householders and businesses have a duty of care when passing waste to another person or company.
If waste is subsequently fly-tipped or handled illegally, the circumstances surrounding how it was transferred can be investigated. Using reputable, properly authorised waste businesses and keeping appropriate documentation helps demonstrate that reasonable steps were taken.
This is why choosing a waste removal company should involve more than simply comparing prices.
What Happens to Waste Collected by Cage Waste Removal?
One of the major differences with Cage Waste Removal Limited is that we operate our own licensed waste transfer facility in Ashford, Kent.
Rather than simply collecting waste and losing sight of what happens next, our loads return to our facility, where materials can be separated into appropriate waste streams.
Depending on the material, this can include wood, metals, electrical items, cardboard, plastics, textiles, soil and rubble, alongside other recoverable materials.
Wherever practical, our aim is to recycle, recover or repurpose materials, reducing the amount of waste requiring final disposal.
Traceability From Your Property to Our Facility
We believe customers should be able to ask their waste contractor a simple question:
“Where are you taking my waste?”
And receive a clear answer.
With Cage Waste Removal, our customers know the disposal point because we operate the facility ourselves. Combined with the appropriate Waste Transfer Note, this creates a much clearer and more transparent waste trail.
Whether we’re completing a single bulky collection, a full house clearance, an end-of-tenancy clearance, commercial waste collection or a larger site clearance, the same principles apply.
