Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced a major crackdown on illegal waste dumping, and Greater Manchester, including Stockport, is one of the first areas in the country chosen for a dedicated region-led enforcement approach.
Stronger Penalties, Smarter Enforcement
Illegal dumping fines are rising from £300 to £5,000, backed by more Environment Agency officers, wider use of detection drones, and quicker asset seizures from criminal gangs under the Crime and Policing Act 2026.
Why Homeowners Need to Check Before They Book
Under the duty of care that applies whenever you hand your waste to someone else, you can be held responsible if it's dumped illegally, even if you paid someone in good faith to take it away. Check any waste carrier on the Environment Agency's public register before booking, and see our waste carrier licence page for a simple explanation of what a valid licence looks like.
A Service You Can Trust
We provide complete waste removal in Stockport and house clearances across the North West, including our sensitive bereavement house clearance service for families dealing with a difficult time.
