The first
part of the Hazardous Waste regulations
came into force on 16 April 2005 with the
requirement "Where hazardous waste
is produced at or removed from, any premises
other than exempt premises, the premises
must be notified to the Environment Agency".
This means that any business producing hazardous
waste has a legal duty to register where
hazardous waste is produced. Each premises
registered will be given a unique registration
number - known as a 'premises code'. Selway
Moore Recycle are happy to help you through
the registration process and to advise you
on the requirements.
Certain types of premises are exempt from
the requirement to register if less than
200kg of hazardous waste are produced at
specified premises in any twelve-month period.
These include domestic premises, shops,
offices, agricultural premises, dental,
veterinary or medical practices, ships,
schools, prisons and charity premises.
Premises in Scotland or Northern Ireland
do not have register as producers for these
Regulations - they only apply to England
and Wales.
