The Full Story

Waste Carriers License

​

If you carry waste on the public highway, you must have a valid Waste Carriers License.  This applies to any business that transports, buys, sells or disposes of waste or arranges for someone else to buy, sell or dispose of waste.​

Waste Transfer Note

 

A waste transfer note is a legal document and is required when the transfer of waste occurs between parties and must contain enough information for it to be handled safely and disposed of legally & ethically. For businesses looking to use our waste removal services, it helps to have a waste transfer note ready for when we collect your waste.​

​Waste Transfer Stations

 

A waste transfer station is where companies similar to TJH will take their waste. These sites will also need to have a waste management license or permit issued by the Environment Agency and will be audited on a regular basis.

​What can I do to help?

 

The Environment Agency says that most importantly, you should check that whomever is removing your furniture/waste or rubbish, has a current waste carriers license. This is the right advice, however anyone who wishes to register as a waste carrier only has to pay £154 and provide minimal information, so it is open to abuse.

​​​​​​​​

​​

​

​​

  • a description of the waste (such as rubble/soil /general waste)

  • any processes the waste has been through

  • how the waste is contained or packaged (skip/bag/van)

  • the quantity of the waste (how much waste by weight or cubic yard)

  • the place and date of transfer (where and when collected)

  • the name and address of both parties (who collected/who from)

  • details of the permit, licence or exemption of the person receiving the waste (the license number of the final destination)

  • the licence or registration number of the person handing over the waste, if they have a waste management licence or are a registered carrier of controlled waste (number plate of the vehicle and the waste carriers number)

  • the appropriate European Waste Catalogue (EWC) code for your waste (European waste catalogue code are six digits long each waste stream has their own code there are approximately 650 codes)

  • the Standard Industry Code (SIC) of your business (standard industrial classification is to identify business)

So what else do you need to do? Once you have established the person/company has a valid waste carriers license, when the waste/rubbish is collected always ask for a copy of the waste transfer note (WTN / Duty of Care note). Why is this so important? The waste transfer note has all the information you need to minimise the risk that your waste will be fly tipped and the WTN should be completed and signed by both parties and contain the following:

Any responsible waste carrier will be more than happy to provide you with all this information. If they are not, please find another company that will. Once you have all this information, you can be certain that you have done all you can to ensure that your waste/rubbish or furniture has been disposed of legally & ethically. Here at TJH we do all these things on request and ensure our customers are compliant at all times. We are a registered waste carrier and adhere to all guidelines when removing your waste.

New Legislation (POP’s) Jan 2023

 

POPS stands for (Persistent Organic Pollutants). What is POPs? This is the new regulation that has been put in place so that certain waste doesn’t go to landfill and or contaminate our environment. Instead of landfill , this waste will go to high temperature incineration. Certain synthetic chemicals were introduced into manufacturing in the mid 1940s.​

​Why does this effect you?

 

A big part of POPs is upholstered domestic furniture & seating. Where as before this waste would be treated as general waste and recycled or landfilled, this now has be shredded and incinerated. Recycling facilities need to segregate the waste and find the right disposal option (incineration) incurring additional cost, which will be passed onto businesses and members of the public.

​​​​Some examples of POPs are:

 

sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, kitchen and dining room chairs, stools and foot stools, home office chairs, futons, bean bags, floor and sofa cushions

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

 

The amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment (widely known as WEEE or e-waste) generated every year in the EU is increasing rapidly. It is now one of the fastest growing waste streams. It includes a large range of devices such as mobile phones, computers, televisions, fridges, household appliances, lamps but also medical devices and photovoltaic panels.

E-waste contains a complex mixture of materials, some of which are hazardous. These can cause major environmental and health problems if the discarded devices are not managed properly. Modern electronics also contain rare and expensive resources, including critical raw materials. These can be recycled and re-used if the waste is effectively managed.

Improving the collection, treatment and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment at the end of their life can increase resource efficiency and support the shift to a circular economy. It can also contribute to the security of supply for critical raw materials, ultimately enhancing the EU’s strategic autonomy.

​

​

Objectives

​

EU rules address environmental and other issues caused by the growing number of discarded electronics in the EU. The aim is to contribute to sustainable production and consumption by

​​

  • preventing the creation of WEEE as a priority

  • contributing to the efficient use of resources and the retrieval of secondary raw materials through re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery

  • improving the environmental performance of everyone involved in the life cycle of EEE
