Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit when you temporarily collect and store householders’ waste.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action when you do this without an environmental permit if you comply with the requirements in this RPS.

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