Scottish Environment Protection Agency - waste carriers regulations - Forum

Registration summary This is an environmental registration which applies to certain specific activities regarding the transport of controlled waste. The registration is administered by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. Eligibility criteria Whether or not you are granted registration will depend on a number of factors such as whether the activity complies with the environmental controls needed to protect the environment in Scotland and whether the operator is a fit and proper person to hold the licence. If you wish to discuss an application, please contact the local SEPA office nearest to your proposed activity. Regulation summary The requirement to register as a carrier or broker of controlled waste is contained within the Control of Pollution (Amendment) Act 1989 and the Controlled Waste (Registration of Carriers and Seizure of Vehicles) Regulations 1991. These require that any person who transports or makes arrangements for management of waste in the course of any business without being registered with the appropriate registration authority commits an offence, unless they are exempt. The registration itself is valid within Great Britain for a period of 3 years from the date of issue of the registration. http://www.sepa.org.uk/waste/waste_regulation/application_forms/waste_carriers_and_brokers.aspx

Thanks for thinking of us Scots Phil... SEPA guidelines are more clear-cut than the EA.
