Regulation 13 Duties in relation to collection of waste

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

An establishment or undertaking which collects waste paper, metal, plastic or glass must, from 1st January 2015, take all such measures to ensure separate collection of that waste as are available to the establishment or undertaking in that capacity and are—

(a)

technically, environmentally and economically practicable; and

(b)

appropriate to meet the necessary quality standards for the relevant recycling sectors.

(2)

For the avoidance of doubt, co-mingled collection (being the collection together with each other but separately from other waste of waste streams intended for recycling with a view to subsequent separation by type and nature) is a form of separate collection.

(3)

Every waste collection authority must, when making arrangements for the collection of waste paper, metal, plastic or glass, ensure that those arrangements are by way of separate collection.
