You are legally responsible for the disposal of your waste.
Your Dsposal helps you make the right decision by only sharing details of legal companies.
Protect yourself from prosecution, protect the environment and help stamp out waste crime
Did you know?
- Waste crimes such as fly-tipping, illegal burning of waste and running illegal waste sites is estimated to cost the UK economy, and the taxpayer, more than £1 billion a year.
- Dumping and burning of waste harms wildlife, pollutes land and water courses, and causes air pollution and climate change.
- Most fly-tipped waste has been dumped by a “man with a van” operating outside the law. By taking your money and dumping your waste illegally, these waste criminals avoid paying disposal costs and pocket all the proceeds. The environment is harmed, the taxpayer pays the clean-up bill, and you could be prosecuted.
- If your waste is found dumped, you can be fined or prosecuted, even if you’ve paid to have it taken away. We are here to protect you from waste criminals, by ensuring that you can only find licenced and legal waste companies on Your Dsposal Directory.
Why Your Dsposal?
- We don’t think anyone should have to pay to be protected from waste crime. That’s why Your Dsposal uses open data and operates as a social enterprise. Any profits generated here are used to improve the service, not for nice holidays.
- Only fully licenced waste companies appear in the directory, and they can provide details about their services right here, so everyone wins.*

- Legal waste companies are licenced by the Environment Agency, and their information is held on public registers. Because these public registers are published as open data it can be used by organisations like ours. Your Dsposal makes it simple to search the public registers and get results you can understand. In essence, this is the power of open data.
- Open data infrastructure has the power to change the world. Waste crime can be stamped out through better information sharing, and that’s why we are here. Find out more about the open data infrastructure we’re building here
