If you operate a business, special rules apply to your refuse
arrangements:
- You must only dispose of your waste to a registered waste
carrier or licensed waste disposer.
- You must obtain, and keep for two years, duty of care transfer
notes for disposal of your waste.
- Your duty of care documents must be made available for
inspection by authorised officers.
- It is illegal for you to dispose of your waste as household
waste.
If you are using a waste carrier to remove your trade waste you
can check they are registered waste carriers by calling the
Environment Agency on 08708 506506 and requesting
an instant waste carrier validation check.
