Commercial waste



Important Information for Trade Premises

The government has introduced new regulations regarding what rubbish can be landfilled.

From 30 October 2007 all waste must be treated by the waste producer. This means you will have to sort your waste to filter out items that can be recycled.

For further information see guidance from the Environment Agency.

Under Section 34 of the 1990 Environmental Protection Act all businesses are required to have a 'Duty of Care Trade Waste Agreement' with a Trade waste contractor.

For further information see the Duty of Care Regulations.
