Local Compliance for Waste Disposal in Bedford
All businesses in Bedfordshire have a legal duty of care when it comes to waste. This applies whether you run a small café or manage multiple commercial sites.
Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, you must take all reasonable steps to store, handle, and dispose of waste safely. You must also ensure your waste is only passed to an authorised and registered waste carrier. Key requirements for businesses include:
- Keeping waste secure and preventing escape or contamination
- Using registered waste carriers, like partners of WM101
- Retaining waste transfer notes for at least two years
- Separating all food waste from other waste streams (Environment Act 2021)
- Avoiding the use of household waste recycling centres for commercial waste
- Not burning trade waste, which is illegal
Failure to comply can result in enforcement action and significant fines, including unlimited penalties in serious cases.
