Details
If the Environment Agency provides a LRWP for an activity, you can carry it out without an environmental permit for a waste operation provided that you meet all the conditions.
The Environment Agency may review its LRWPs. It may decide the activity is no longer suitable for a LRWP or that the conditions need changing. You must regularly check that LRWP you are benefiting from is still in place.
We have withdrawn ‘Storing and compacting waste coffee grounds to produce a briquette: LRWP 45’ and replaced it with ‘Storing and compacting waste coffee grounds: RPS 306’.
