Customer advice

Viridor aims to keep all its customers and stakeholders fully appraised of the latest legislative and other developments directly affecting waste management practices in the UK.

In general, any material which is discarded or thrown away is classed as waste.

Significant amounts, whether it is paper for recycling, detritus from the kitchen or waste from manufacturing are legally classed as ‘Controlled Wastes’ and their movements are subject to strict controls through ‘Duty of Care’ legislation.

These technical advice pages have been produced to help identify legal requirements and to act as a signpost to more detailed sites, primarily Netregs.
