Environment Agency
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to:
- register as a waste carrier where you transport waste as part of your business activity
- complete a transfer note when you transfer waste
- have a waste permit when you bulk up and or store waste unless you have a relevant exemption
- only send waste to a site that can legally accept that waste because it is has a relevant waste permit or waste exemption
- only accept waste at a permitted site if your permit allows you to accept that waste
whenyou manage or receive waste from voluntary litter collections.
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.
