Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal obligation to have an environmental permit when you store or treat hazardous waste cable.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action when you do this with a permit or exemption that does not include the correct waste codes for hazardous waste cable if you comply with the requirements in this RPS.

This enforcement position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
