Business waste and recycling

Your duty of care

If you have a business you have a duty of care to store, transport and safely dispose of the waste that you generate. To do this you must make sure that the person removing your waste is from a licensed waste collection company. Your business must provide a written description of the waste to the person who removes it. This is called a ‘Waste Transfer Note’ and must be completed by both persons involved in the transfer. All reasonable steps must be taken to store waste safely and securely.

If you pay someone to remove your rubbish and they do not have a licence you could be prosecuted. For further information please contact our helpline, the details are available in the contact section of this page.
