Legislation - Hazardous Waste

The Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 and the Hazardous Waste (Wales) Regulations 2005 were amended on 6 April 2009 and 18 November 2009 respectively. This principally widened the scope of the exemption from hazardous waste producer registration:

• All types of premises that produce hazardous waste are now exempt from registration if no more than 500kg of hazardous waste is produced in a year.

This means that any organisation producing over 500Kg of Hazardous Waste per year would need to register as a Hazardous Waste Producer. This covers all IT equipment (including CRTs, LCDs and TFTs) plus other potentially high impact disposal items controlled by your Facilities Departments. Each premises registered will be given a unique registration number - known as a 'Premises Code'.

Below are individual instructions on how to apply:
