If you operate a waste recycling business there’s a legal necessity to have the right license, or you could face huge fines. 

Recently, a man from East-London was fined after employing a ‘man with a van’ wrongly, for disposal of waste, and fines for similar instances can reach more than £5,000 per business.

The removal of waste and its administration operates within strict legal conditions as set out by the Control of Contamination (Correction) Act of 1989. This act makes it unlawful for anybody to transport waste for profit, anywhere in the UK, without a Waste Transporter Permit.

Permits can be obtained at https://www.gov.uk/register-recharge for £154. If you need any help on this issue, please contact one of the specialist team at Ascend.
