Waste Oil Removal Law
Waste oil disposal laws and regulations
At Waste King, we understand the importance of complying with legislation to ensure waste oil’s safe storage and disposal. Here are the key regulations businesses must follow:
Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005
Non-edible oils are classified as hazardous waste, necessitating adherence to the Hazardous Waste Regulations. This legislation mandates that commercial users or producers of hazardous waste store it in appropriate, securely sealed containers. Each container must be clearly labeled to prevent cross-contamination, and waste oil can only be transported by licensed carriers. Businesses are required to maintain a ‘Duty of Care’ certificate or ‘Waste Transfer Note’ for each transaction, evidencing proper disposal.
The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001
Designed to ensure the secure storage of oil, this regulation applies if you store over 201 litres of oil. Businesses storing smaller quantities are not covered by this regulation. It outlines safe storage practices, including the installation by qualified personnel, certified through the ‘Competent Person Scheme’. Additionally, oil waste containers must undergo an annual inspection.
Environmental Protection Act 1990
This act is focused on protecting the environment for future generations, emphasising responsible waste disposal practices. Businesses are tasked with a ‘duty of care’ to minimise environmental impact by preventing unauthorised or harmful waste disposal activities. Secure storage and collection by licensed carriers are required, alongside accurate completion of waste transfer notes for each collection.
At Waste King, we prioritise compliance with these regulations to safeguard the environment while providing our services.
