Hazardous waste regulations

The Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 specify certain rules regarding the disposal of such waste types which are outlined below:

Producers must avoid mixing hazardous wastes with non-hazardous wastes.
All producers must complete a consignment note to accompany the waste.
All producers of hazardous wastes must register the premises at which their waste arises with the Environment Agency, unless they fall into the category of an exempt producer, and generate less than 200kg of hazardous waste per year. In certain cases Clearers South East Ltd are able to arrange registration of premises on behalf of the waste producers.
Producers must maintain records for three years.
Notification of premises - Since July 2005 it has been an offence and in breach of the new regulations to produce or remove hazardous waste from any premises that haven’t been notified or are not exempt.
