Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to take all reasonable steps to avoid contaminating other waste with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) when you collect, receive and store items of waste upholstered domestic seating:

  • at aHWRC
  • as part of bulky waste collected from households

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action for not keeping to this legal requirement when segregating waste upholstered domestic seating at a HWRC or as part of a bulky waste collection service from households if you comply with the requirements in this RPS.

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