Doing the right thing with your waste is simple - before you pay anyone to take your waste away, don’t forget to:

✅Check they have a Waste Carriers Licence via the Environment Agency website
✅ Ask for a Waste Transfer Note (so you know where it’s going)
✅ Make a note of their vehicle registration

These small actions help prevent fly tipping, avoid fines, reduce crime and keep Kent clean for everyone 💚

Keep your community safe - swerve the scam!

Being smart about your v**e starts with knowing the facts – and understanding how to keep yourself and others safe.

You should:
✅Unplug your v**e once it’s fully charged
♻️ Recycle it safely at a designated recycle point near you:
a supermarket, v**e shop or your local household waste recycling centre
🚫Keep it away from extreme heat or freezing cold temperatures

If you don’t, you could cause your v**e to overheat, leak, or even start a fire. When v**es and pods are binned, their hidden lithium batteries can be crushed in bin lorries and recycling centres, sparking dangerous fires and wasting valuable materials 😬🔥

To find your nearest recycling points, where you can drop them off safely, follow the link in the comments ⬇️
