Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit when you aerobically digest residual mixed municipal waste at the place where the waste was produced.

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.
