Waste Carriers Licence

[porky]

I received a kind invitation to renew today. On close examination of :-

it looks like we don't need a licence anymore, (unless your carrying rubble etc) but we will need a licence from end of Dec 2013, but it will be free.

"..it looks like we don't need a licence anymore"????...hmmm, ha!

 

Just a quick update with some useful clarifications for the EA.

 

Firstly, although it's still covered by the Euro. Waste Catalogue, the EA 'appear' to have accepted that tree surgeons waste, where it does not consist 'primarily' of greenery, can be exempted as essentially a wood product under the 'Virgin Wood' exemption (see attached).

 

However, as it anticpated that most, if not all, tree surgeons (their words!) will carry, for instance, Leylandii trimmings at some time, which is (green) 'waste' they will need to register as a 'lower tier' carrier from the end 2013.

 

Secondly, in the interim, i.e. upto end 2013, if you receive a renewal notice you do not need to (untiel end 2013) and further if you don't have a WCL to start with then you don't need one currently..."PHEW" I hear you say...PARDON?!

 

Hope this helps..

Call me old fashioned buts that's the way I read the Para 21 exemption anyway!

 

Thanks for your input and hard work.

The (old) para.21, now T6, exemption related to 'storage' of woodchip and the need for a Waste Transfer Licence...or not if you had a para.21 exemption.

 

Cheers..

APOLOGIES, just having revisited the EA NetRegs website (oh joy!) I've been reminded the above mentioned exemption relates to 'Environmental Permits' (in England and Wales) not a WTL (applicable in Scotland and N. Ireland).
