to ensure any waste they produce is controlled.

When appointing a waste management
contractor you should ensure they are reputable as any illegal tipping
of your waste may contravene your duty of care.
|
|
When removing any waste from the
business premises the appointed contractor must supply a copy of the
waste transfer note. The waste transfer note would include a
description of the waste, quantity and waste destination.

Contractors
removing and handling certain hazardous waste types including
fluorescent light tubes that are commonly found in office premises are
required to have been issued a special waste license.

is for the contractor to make the environmental agency aware of
hazardous waste movement by returning a copy of the consignment notice
form.

|
A copy of the consignment notice should
also be handed to the waste producer who should hold on file for a 3
year period. As with the waste transfer notice.
