This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when you:

• store and mechanically treat plastic and metal waste clothes hangers under a T4 waste exemption

• store and manually treat additional types of waste clothes hangers to those allowed under a T12 waste exemption

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 the RPS.

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