Waste legislation is in place to ensure that waste is disposed of properly for the protection of the environment. The Duty of Care is a set of regulations which are applicable for all businesses producing waste.
You are legally responsible for ensuring that the waste your business produces, stores, transports and disposes is done so without causing harm to the environment. Failure to do so will often result in hefty fines and / or prison sentences depending on severity. It is therefore essential for you and your business to comply with the waste duty of care rules.
