Regulation 53 Consignee and self-disposal quarterly returns
England and Wales
Every consignee must make a return, in these Regulations referred to as a consignee quarterly return, to the F1NRBW of information relating to all consignments of hazardous waste received by him or her in any quarter in accordance with paragraph (4).
The return must include—
rejected consignments;
hazardous waste delivered by pipeline where regulation 41 applies; and
in the case of multiple collections, each individual consignment collected.
Where in any quarter hazardous waste is disposed of by depositing it within the curtilage of the premises at which it is produced, the producer must make a return in respect of that quarter of information relating to the deposit to the NRBW, in accordance with paragraph (4).
A return to be made pursuant to this regulation in respect of a quarter must be made no later than the time specified in the right hand column of the table below in relation to the quarter specified in the left hand column:
| Quarter in which the hazardous waste was received, or deposited, as the case may be | Return to be received by the NRBW not later than |
|---|---|
| Ending on 31 March | 30 April in the same year as the quarter falls |
| Ending on 30 June | 31 July in the same year as the quarter falls |
| Ending on 30 September | 31 October in the same year as the quarter falls |
| Ending on 31 December | 31 January in the year next following the year in which quarter falls |
The NRBW may prescribe a format for returns to be made under this regulation and, where for the time being a format is prescribed pursuant to this paragraph—
the NRBW must publish the format on its website and in such other manner as it may consider appropriate for informing persons required to submit such returns of its content; and
the NRBW is not obliged to consider a return as properly made for the purposes of these Regulations unless it is made in that format, or in a format substantially to like effect.
If the NRBW prescribes a fee payable by a consignee by charging scheme made under section 41 of the Environment Act 1995 as a means of recovering its costs incurred in performing functions in relation to the consignments included on the consignee quarterly returns, a consignee may recover from a consignor any fees paid under these Regulations in relation to consignments sent by that consignor.
