Consultation description

This consultation proposes greater flexibility in the way information on the description of wastes may be completed as an alternative to the use of Waste Transfer Notes. It clarifies how registered waste carriers can show their ‘authority to carry waste’ when required to. It also recommends additional offences the Regulators can take into account when registering waste carriers, brokers and dealers.

This consultation follows on from the recommendations in the red tape challenge on waste themes.

This consultation will be of interest to any person or business that either transfers or receives controlled waste in England and Wales.
