New Hazardous Waste Regs
1 July 2005
A new legislation will come into force on 16th July 2005 regarding the procedures for companies who deal with the production, handling, storing, treating or disposal of hazardous waste. The 'Special Waste' Regulations 1996 will now be changed to The 'Hazardous Waste' Regulations 2005 and is applicable to all businesses in England and Wales.
What is Hazardous Waste?
Hazardous wastes are defined as potentially toxic and of a dangerous nature. Hazardous waste includes solvents, chemical wastes, some contaminated land, used engine oils and oil filters, chemical waste processes, pesticides and asbestos.
This new regulation will ensure that hazardous waste producing companies deal with their waste properly and that they adhere to national or regional legislation.
