Managed On-Site Solution Regulations

The laws that apply to waste and its disposal are complex, varied and ever-changing. Fortunately, our managed on-site solutions ensure that you meet all the regulations that apply to you.

The Duty of Care Regulations apply to all businesses handling waste. They state that as a waste holder you must take all reasonable steps to:

Prevent unauthorised or harmful deposit, treatment or disposal of waste
Ensure that all waste is disposed of with a business or individuals that have the correct and relevant environmental permit issued but the Environmental Agency like Recycling Lives
Prevent other parties from breaching permit conditions relevant to the type of waste they process
Provide an accurate description of the waste when it is transferred to another business or individual
Retain waste documentation about non-hazardous waste for two years

In addition, any waste holder must ensure that waste is transferred to a business or individual like Recycling Lives that is:

Registered as a carrier, broker or dealer of waste
A waste management operator with an environmental permit or registered exemption to accept such waste.
