Trade Waste - Duty of Care

 

What is Duty of Care

Duty of Care is a law which states that anyone who produces waste, unless the waste comes from you own household, has a responsibility to dispose of the waste safely.  You must dispose of the waste through a registered waste carrier.  You must also take all reasonable steps to store the waste safely until it is disposed of.

 

 If You Break This Law, You Can Be Fined An Unlimited Amount
