General Duty Of Care

Anyone who produces, imports, produces, stores or transports waste must maintain it is disposed of and managed correctly. This duty of care is an imposed law under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act (1990). This law applies to anyone acting as a broker with control of the waste. Breaching this law would lead to a court visit with an unlimited fine. 

Household Duty Of Care

Each and every homeowner should ensure that their waste is correctly disposed of. The correct management of household waste is another law that must be respected and followed under the Environmental Protection Act (2005).

General Duty Of Care

If you have waste or unwanted items that require disposal, use the following list to check certain questions regarding any legal issues;

• Ensure your waste collector or disposal company has the appropriate licenses to do so.
• Take the necessary steps to prevent it from escaping from your control.
• Store it safely and securely.
• Prevent it from causing environmental damage or harm.
• Describe the waste by writing it as a transfer not if you intend to pass it onto someone else.

Household Duty Of Care

If you are a homeowner or householder, you are responsible for checking the clearance or disposal company has authority to do so;

• Ask the carrier company to provide a full address and phone number.
• Ask to view their waste carrier license issued primarily by the Environmental Agency.
• Either confirm the license by calling the Environmental Agency at 08708 or as for a free validation check.
