APPENDICES
3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
1.0 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
1.1 Scope
Pesticides are not covered by this plan - disposal of waste pesticides will
be the responsibility of the relevant specialist contractor.
1.2 Purpose
2.1 Waste
The official definition of waste also covers substances or objects which fall
out of the commercial cycle or out of the chain of utility. In particular,
most items which are sold or taken off-site for recycling are wastes as
they require treatment before they can be re-sold or re-used.
In practical terms, all materials required to be removed by NOVEL
Engineering approved contractor for disposal, reuse or recycling are
legally classified as waste. They can be divided into the categories
detailed below. They may be further segregated on site to allow for
differing disposal options and to take advantage of recycling
opportunities.
Non-Controlled Controlled
General waste is the non legal term given to controlled waste which is not
classified as special waste.
The Duty of Care Regulations 1991 state that anyone in possession of any
waste must:
(v) All those subject to the Duty of Care should be able to confirm
conformance by others handling the waste in the chain to the
requirements of the Duty of Care. Confirmation should be to an
extent which is reasonable in circumstances. All breaches of the
Duty should be reported to the EA (Waste Regulation Section).
However, a WML is not required where waste is stored on the site where
it is produced prior to off-site disposal and this exemption does not need
to be registered with the Environment Agency.
3.4 Special Waste
The Special Waste Regulations 1996 require that the Environment Agency
is notified of the disposal of Special Wastes at least 3 working days in
advance of disposal. A system of consignment notes, which replace the
need for a Controlled Waste Transfer Note, must be used to document the
disposal of Special Wastes. The other provisions of the Duty of Care
Regulations still apply.
