UK Environment Agency Regulation
Under the UK’s Environment Agency Regulations concerning the collection and recycling of Waste there are many complex and varied systems and procedures to comply with. Overall the Duty of Care principal requires the producer of the waste, whether Controlled or Hazardous, to know where the waste is being taken to and additionally what happens to it.
For some waste, notably Hazardous Waste, it is also a legal requirement to be registered as a Producer of Hazardous Waste. Vellco can register your premises for peace of mind and also manage your varying needs for both Controlled and Hazardous Waste in a way which ensures compliance and legality with all current UK legislation requirements.
