Whether you’re a Business or an individual, managing waste legally and responsibly is something we’ve all got to do and there are a number of rules and regulations to help make sure it’s done right.

As a Business, you have a Duty of Care to manage your waste responsibly, this includes knowing where it ends up getting disposed of or recovered. Click the link to find out more about your Duty of Care and how to ensure you’re operating within the law.

If you’re running a construction or demolition project worth £300k or more, then you’ll need to have produced a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP). SWMP’s are now a legal requirement on any such site and contain information on what waste types are in play and how they will be dealt with.
