Waste Management:

Bookmark Page

All businesses have a legal 'Duty of Care' 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.
A requirement of 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.
