Waste Legislation

We ensure that all clients are fully aware of changes. Additions to legislation and other typical environmental matters we make it our busines to advise  you accordingly.

Pre-Treatment Regulations

The Landfill (England and Wales) Regulations 2002 aim to reduce/prevent the use of landfill having negative effects on the environment.

From October 30th 2007 a further regulation was added, the "Pre-Treatment Requirements".

Waste will not be accepted at landfill unless it has been pre-treated. Waste will be considered pre-treated if it:

  1. has undergone a physical, thermal or biological process including sorting that
  2. also changes the characteristics of the waste; and
  3. must do so in order to:
  • reduce its mass, or
  • reduce its hazardous nature, or
  • facilitate its handling, or
  • enhance its recovery

The easiest way to comply with this pre-treatment regulation is to remove recyclables from your general waste.

Please see sub-headings for more information.
