Hazardous Waste

In recent years, legislation has increasingly impacted businesses in relation to their waste management, not least in relation to hazardous wastes under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005. Stringent rules are applied to the treatment, disposal and handling of hazardous wastes. Most businesses produce some form of hazardous waste. All hazardous waste must be segregated and stored separately on site. A general waste container cannot be used for the deposit of hazardous materials. Further controls were implemented in May 2007 applying to agricultural, non-mineral mine and quarry waste.

What Can Wastecycle Do For You?

We cannot accept any special, hazardous or toxic waste without prior arrangement. The following list is a guide to materials which cannot be accepted at our Materials Recycling Facilities or can only be accepted by prior arrangement:-

Hazardous Waste Registration

Under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 all waste producers that produce in excess of 200kg of Hazardous waste per year need to register with the Environment Agency. Wastecycle can help by registering your site as a hazardous waste producer, on your behalf, with the Environment Agency. Simply download the registration form on the left hand menu, complete and fax it to us on 01159 404141 or email as an attachment to enquiries@wastecycle.co.uk

Standard Industry Classification

Businesses are increasingly required to provide a Standard Industry Classification (SIC) Code with returns and registrations.  The list is produced by the Office of National Statistics. Download the Standard Industry Classification Codes list (UKSIC(2003)) from the menu on the left.
