We (well one of the other people that own this building I didn't deal with them directly myself so haven't been able to ask any questions) have had a quote to get rid of a load of garden waste and a bit of rubble. I don't want to pay a load of doasyoulikeys that will dump it. On their website there is a waste licence number "licensed waste carrier CB/YM3688H" & postcode of firm is HA0 1SP but the only government site I can find that I assume this can be checked on comes back with nothing by either waste number or postcode.

This seems to be the environment (?) website to check:

http://epr.environment-agency.gov.uk/ePRInternet/s...

Even if I search by postcode the firm is not coming up. Am I on the wrong site? Are they licenced? Any pointers?

This is the firm, I think one man band type thing.

EDIT DONT REPLY I FOUND THEM. maybe cos they didn't put their full licence number CB/YM3688HA/R003 bit of a st website that environment one.

For future ref the site below works to find permit the one above doesn't. I don't really get why but there you go
