Thinking of a clear out – make sure the person taking your waste has a waste collection permit, or you could get more than you bargained for. You could be fined up to €5,000 for using an unauthorised waste collector.
People engaged in collection of waste are required to have a waste collection permit. This ensures that they are responsible and that the waste is going to an authorised site. You have an obligation only to give your waste to an authorised collector.
