  1. Change made to 'Storing and treating used electrical insulating oil for reuse: LRWP 57': we have corrected a formatting error that made the waste codes in LRWP 57 appear without an asterisk for hazardous waste. All these waste codes now have an asterisk as they are all hazardous waste. Also change made to ‘Recycling waste spectacles: LRWP 76’: List of Waste code was 20 03 01 now 20 01 99.

  2. We have published a new low risk waste position - 'Storing and treating waste oyster shells: LRWP 78'.

  3. We have added 'Recycling waste spectacles: LRWP 76'.

  4. First published.
