Environment Agency regulatory position on storing waste aerosol air freshener canisters on premises of washroom services companies and similar hygiene facilities.

Applies to England

Documents

Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when washroom services companies and similar hygiene facilities store waste aerosol air freshener canisters (away from the site of production) before recovery elsewhere.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
