It's always the responsibility of the person creating the waste to make sure it is disposed of in a responsible and legal way.

Recently there have been a number of scrap metal thefts, including washing machines and other household items which have been taken from people's homes. You should only let approved companies take your waste away. Ask for identification or a telephone number to ring to check ID.
