Legal obligations and Duty of Care
Everyone has a responsibility, whether a householder or a business, to ensure that they dispose of the waste in a responsible way. This includes ensuring that the person or business that collects your waste has the appropriate licensees and paper work, this is called: Duty of care.
You must:
- classify your waste and know if it’s hazardous or non-hazardous so you can deal with it correctly
- register your premises if you produce or store hazardous waste
- usually get a permit to store, treat, transport or dispose of your waste yourself
- store your waste safely and securely
- follow the rules for moving waste off your business premises
- check that any business you use to deal with your waste is licensed, and keep proof of this – eg take a copy of their licence
You have extra responsibilities if you’re dealing with hazardous waste.
For more information about waste legislation please visit the gov.uk page on Duty of Care.
Alternatively we have our own duty of care pages
