Business (or commercial or trade) waste
Your legal obligations
Business owners or managers are responsible for disposing of the
refuse produced by their company and must arrange for it to be
collected by a licensed waste carrier.
It is an offence to take business waste into a Household Waste Recycling Centre.
You will find waste companies
listed in telephone directories and on the internet. To check if they are properly licensed to take
waste, visit the Public
Registers section of the Environment Agency
website or phone the Environment Agency on 08708
506506.
There is advice on what you need to do to comply with
environmental law and protect the environment on the Netregs website.
Please recycle as much as you can
