Disposal of waste from businesses

Waste collections are not covered by the business rates bill. Businesses are responsible for managing, storing and disposing of their waste (as per section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990).

For more information, including details of new regulations, please visit WRAP's The Business of Recycling website.
