As of the 6th April 2009 the Hazardous Waste Regulations have been amended. One of the main changes to affect businesses such as those from the construction industry who are producers of hazardous waste relates to the need to register.
Premises producing hazardous waste such as construction sites will no longer need to register the site as producing hazardous waste if it will produce less than 500kg of hazardous waste in any one year.
The requirement to manage your hazardous waste properly along with your other wastes also forms part of your obligations under your 'Waste Duty of Care' which have been strengthened by the recent introduction of the Site Waste Management Plan regulations 2008.
