Check before they chuck video transcript

This transcript is for video on the advice if you're paying someone to take your rubbish away page.

A man named Steve is on his driveway, piling up household rubbish wearing a grey polo shirt, jeans and gloves.

A second man with tattoos wearing a black cap, t-shirt and silver chain necklaces in a white van pulls up and beeps the horn. He is a trader.

Trader: Y'alright mate, got a load of stuff 'ere?

Steve: Yeah I just want to get rid of it.

Trader: Do you wanna chuck it on?

Steve: Yeah, OK.

The van reverses onto the driveway.

Narrator: Steve just wants to get rid of this waste that's been piling up.

The van driver gets out and starts opening the hatch at the back of the van.

Narrator: Saves him a job and the guy offered him a good deal too.

The two men start loading the rubbish into the back of the van in a short montage. The van driver closes the hatch.

Steve: Cheers. Do I get a receipt or anything?

Trader: Nope, cash is fine. See you later mate.

The van driver returns to the cab and closes the door behind him.

Narrator: Easy enough and cheap!

The van driver pulls away from the drive

Narrator: And the rubbish is gone!

The van driver heads down a quiet country single track road with trees and bushes on either side.

Narrator: What Steve didn't check is the guy who collected his waste isn't a registered waste carrier,

Narrator: and is now finding somewhere to fly tip it.

The driver of the van pulls over in an overgrown layby and begins tipping the waste into a pile by the road. The van driver drives away leaving the waste in a pile.

Narrator: He should have checked his waste carrier license, taken note of his vehicle reg and asked for a receipt.

Narrator: But little did Steve know…

A letter drops through Steve’s letterbox.

Narrator: is the waste was identified back to him and he got a £600 fine.

Steve looks disappointed and upset.

Narrator: If only he'd checked.
