Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to get an environmental permit to temporarily store food waste, separately collected recyclable waste and mixed municipal waste.  

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

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