A business case to reduce your waste

A comprehensive 12 page booklet has been put together to inform businesses in Surrey of the correct way to handle and deal with their waste. You can download your own pdf copy from the right hand column of this page.

It includes information on the following:

• 'Duty of Care' responsibilities applicable to all businesses.
• The illegalities of using council run facilities specifically provided for household waste to dispose of commercially generated waste.
• The need to have the correct permits, licenses or exemptions if carrying waste.
• 'Business Rates' do not include a waste disposal service provided by Local Authorities.
• The Clean Neighbourhood and Environment Act as applicable to businesses.
• Where waste can legally be taken and disposed of.
• Who to call for advice and references to helpful websites.
• Provides solutions to ensure businesses are fully compliant and are able to dispose of waste in a cost effective and environmentally friendly way.
