The government require anyone handling waste to be licensed. In this license we must disclose the type of waste which we handle and carry.
Without this license, and relevant documentation, waste management centres are unable to accept waste. The purpose of this is to ensure that waste is categorised and appropriately disposed of.
If the waste comes from your own home, the duty of care law does apply to you as well. If you give waste to someone you must make sure that they are a registered waste carrier and therefore authorised to remove it and dispose of it in a responsible manner.
 

Any company that carries waste be it household waste or other waste are required by law to be registered with the Environment Agency and must carry a Waste Carriers Licence issued by them.
Avoid using any company that does not hold such a licence or is not registered with the Environment Agency as they are likely to be the kind who fly-tip which is a criminal offence and using such companies can land you with a hefty fine. 

This illegal activity is quite common and the scourge of many a local authority who via the tax payer spend millions a year on cleaning up waste dumped in streets, fields and back alley-ways by illegal traders. A reputable house clearance company will be registered with the Environment Agency and hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence, and also be able to produce waste transfer stubs. Using a company that fly-tips your waste can result in a heavy fine for you.below is an extract from the Defra web site:-

" 7. What are the penalties for non-compliance with the household duty of care ? "

If fly-tipped waste is traced back to a particular household, the householders could be fined up to £5000.
