New Landfill Regulations for Hazardous Waste apply
from 16 July 2004

The new regulations make new demands on waste producers and waste treatment companies.

The investments we have made in the last few years have ensured that we can make the transition smoothly into the new era, with no disruption to customers and further without the need to change our prices. This is simply as we landfill less than 15% of the hazardous waste we take in for treatment.

The Environment Agency have published some useful guides on the internet and we have copies and links available below.
