Man and Van vs Junk Removal in Dorset

Man and Van vs Professional Junk Removal

Searching for rubbish removal brings up both "man and van" services and professional junk removal companies. Here's the difference.

Man and Van

Professional Junk Removal (TipRun)

The Fly-Tipping Risk

If an unlicensed operator dumps your waste illegally, you could be held liable — not just them. Under the Environmental Protection Act, the waste producer (you) has a duty of care to ensure waste is disposed of properly. Using a licensed carrier protects you.

Choose a licensed, insured junk removal service.

TipRun: licensed (CBDU540532), insured, tracked, recycling commitment.
