Waste Storage Requirements

• The Waste (England & Wales) Regulations 2011 and Hazardous Waste Regulations, 2005

1. Hazardous and Non-Hazardous waste streams must NOT be mixed together.
2. All waste streams need to be “secure” i.e. bin with a lid, or undercover, and not able to blow away or be stolen.
3. All bins need to be labelled with contents.
4. Hazardous waste streams must be under cover.
5. Liquid hazardous waste streams must be on a “bund” if stored outside, in case of leakage.

THINKING AHEAD – Moving Forward

Waste Storage Requirements

• Since April 2025 - Plastics, metal, paper/card and glass should be collected and disposed of separately from general and food waste. Food waste must be collected as a completely separate waste stream.

• Since 2020 - Any recyclable waste streams that are segregated on site, must be collected separately by the contractor for recycling or composting, and not sent for incineration or landfill.

• Waste produced must not be stored for longer than 12 months.

What must I know about what happens with my waste?

Waste Transfer Documentation

• The Waste (England & Wales) Regulations 2011 and the Duty of Care requirements brought in by the Environment Protection Act 1990.

• It is only collected by registered waste carriers (unless being moved by the waste producer’s own vehicles).

• All collections are covered by a valid transfer or consignment note that includes a written description of the waste to enable anyone handling it to do so safely and appropriately.

• Waste is only taken to an authorised facility that has the necessary waste management licensing - ignorance of the disposal site is no defence if your waste is found fly tipped.

THINKING AHEAD – Moving Forward

Waste Transfer Documentation

• The Waste (England & Wales) Regulations 2011 and the Duty of Care requirements brought in by the Environment Protection Act 1990.

• Records of transfers of waste are legal documents and are kept for at least two years (non-hazardous) and three years (hazardous).

• A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) or Hazardous Waste Consignment Note (WCN) must include a Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 declaration, in some form, for the business to sign to confirm they have applied their waste hierarchy duty.

13

Waste and Resource Use Hierarchy

• Waste Hierarchy 2011 - to improve the use of waste as a resource.

• Waste hierarchy duty: a business which imports, produces, collects, transports, recovers or disposes of waste, must, on transferring the waste, take all available measures to apply the following waste hierarchy:

• Prevention;
• Preparing for re-use;
• Recycling;
• Other recovery (e.g energy recovery);
• Disposal

Waste transfer notes and waste consignment notes

• Remember:

1- Before signing WTN or WCN check waste being collected is the same as documented on the Note.2- Does the WCN have on it the site to where the waste is being taken?3- If it is something you have not signed for before, check the WTN or WCN carefully.

• All waste contractors should go through the supplier approval process, to ensure you have copies of their Waste Carrier Licenses and Waste Site Permits - if unsure always ask. Public Registers Online (data.gov.uk)

• NEVER ALLOW anyone to take waste without the correct paperwork.
