Property Maintenance
Waste Clearance & Site Clearance
Guardian Edge provides waste and site clearance across the UK — void clearance, fly-tipping removal, bulky waste, communal area clearance and construction waste — with waste transfer documentation supplied, because the duty of care follows the waste producer rather than the person who took it away.
Cleared, documented, and disposed of by someone licensed to do it.
Who this is for
- Managing agents dealing with communal area dumping
- Landlords and letting agents at void turnaround
- Facilities managers with site clearance requirements
- Owners of vacant property attracting fly-tipping
Problems it solves
- Items dumped in communal areas are a fire and escape risk
- A void property is full and cannot be re-let
- Fly-tipping keeps recurring at the same site
- Waste was removed by someone unlicensed and it has been traced back to you

Before we price anything
Inspection & survey process
- 01
Identify the waste stream
Hazardous items — asbestos, chemicals, some electricals — need separate handling and documentation.
On site
How the work is delivered
- 01
Clear
Removed and the area swept and left usable.
- 02
Document
Waste transfer notes issued so your duty of care is evidenced, not assumed.
Compliance
What the rules actually require
- Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the duty of care follows the waste producer. If waste is fly-tipped after collection, the producer can be liable — which is why the carrier's licence and the transfer note matter.
- Waste carriers must be registered with the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales, SEPA or NIEA depending on the nation.
- Hazardous waste requires consignment notes and separate handling.
- Items stored in communal areas of residential buildings are a fire risk and may breach fire safety duties as well as being a clearance problem.
Standards & legislation
These are not all the same kind of obligation, and we do not present them as if they were. A statutory duty is law. A British Standard is the recognised way of demonstrating you have met one. Guidance and our own recommendations are neither.
- Legal requirementEnvironmental Protection Act 1990, s.34
Duty of care for waste
Requires waste to be transferred only to an authorised person, with a written description and transfer note.
