Questions
Frequently asked
How do I check a waste site's permit?
Search by the site name, operator name or permit number above. The checker reads the Environment Agency permitted-sites register and shows the permit details and the waste types the site is allowed to accept.
Why does the receiving site need a permit?
Your duty of care means waste must go to a site authorised to accept it. Sending waste to a site without the right environmental permit can leave you liable, even if a carrier moved it.
What waste can a site accept?
A permit lists the EWC codes and activities a site is authorised for. The checker shows the accepted waste codes held on the register so you can confirm your waste is covered.
