Improper disposal of fluorescent tubes and other technical waste could now cost you a fortune!
Environment Legislation No one can be unaware of environmental issues. The recycling concept is part of daily life, with increasing pressure to be responsible for the waste we produce. Legislation is being driven by Europe and all business and organisations are now directly affected by environmental legislation.
In 1990 the Environmental Protection Act was introduced. This provided a framework for the implementation of a series of European Directives on the environment. Of significant impact to RecycledWaste.com and waste management the following apply:
In April 1992 the Duty of Care was introduced. Under the terms of the Act, no organisation may dispose of waste with impunity and reasonable steps must be taken to ensure waste is neither mismanaged nor illegally disposed of. In essence this requires all producers of waste to transfer control of waste via the statutory instrument of the Transfer Note.
In May 1994 the Waste Regulations for the granting of a Waste Management Licence were introduced. A licence for the management of a landfill site will only be granted when the Waste Regulator is satisfied that the managers are fit and proper persons and that there is sufficient financial provision for aftercare, which may be required some 50 years after the filling of the landfill site!
Savings without Compromise There is increasing pressure from the Environment Agency to comply with the 'Duty of Care' under the Environmental Protection Act. The penalty for non-compliance is an unlimited fine (possibly imprisonment). This is especially true of a sensitive product such as mercury.
