Frequently asked questions

What is waste compliance, and why do I need it?
Waste compliance requires businesses to follow specific laws – such as those set out by the Environmental Protection Act – and rules about how to dispose of, treat, and manage commercial waste. These regulations are designed to protect the environment and public health. Companies in the UK must meet these requirements to avoid legal issues and fines, as well as to demonstrate their commitment to the environment, enhance their social responsibility, and keep a good reputation. Additionally, following these rules can help businesses manage waste more effectively, lower costs, and support a sustainable approach. This is becoming increasingly more important, with new laws being introduced on March 31, 2025 regarding dry recycling and food waste.
Is waste compliance important for businesses?
Yes. Waste compliance is the difference between being able to operate a business legally and not at all. Businesses produce large amounts of waste, and therefore it must be regulated as much as possible to minimise its impact on people and the environment.
How long does it take to become waste-compliant?
The size of your business and the schedule of work required will ultimately determine our waste compliance timescale. Whilst we know speed is key, we also believe in being thorough to ensure there are no nasty surprises or bottlenecks when it comes to recycling your commercial waste.
What factors determine if my business is waste-compliant?
Here are some of the many factors we consider to determine if a business is compliant with its waste disposal: Submitting evidence of meeting producer compliance obligations. Producing compliant waste transfer notes. Ability to provide records of all waste movements for the last 2 years for non-hazardous waste and 3 years for hazardous waste. Adhering to the latest regulations such as Extended Producer Responsibility and Simpler Recycling.
