Disposal of uncollected goods

Many businesses are left holding goods which customers never return to collect

These can become a nuisance and take up valuable storage space. It is sometimes in your best interests to dispose of them.

If you decide to take this action, the Disposal of Uncollected Goods Act and regulations set out procedures to be followed.

There are certain forms you need to use when notifying the various people of your intention to dispose of goods.

Following these procedures and using the correct forms can save you problems later, particularly if your customers turn up wanting their goods.

You should be aware that penalties apply for offences against this Act.
