Like every business in the UK produces rubbish, and the company has a duty of care to ensure that this is dealt with properly and within the law.
Responsibility for the disposal of your waste does not end when your chosen contractor removes the waste from your building, and issues you with a waste transfer note. As the waste producer, you have a responsibility to make reasonable and periodic checks that the waste is being disposed of in a satisfactory manner. If your contractor fly-tips your waste YOU are still liable and responsible – even selection of an approved Environment Agency waste contractor does not absolve you from this responsibility.
To limit your liability therefore, Profit Through Change
will make the periodic checks on your contractor and make sure that your waste is being disposed of appropriately. We will then produce a compliance certificate the process thereby mitigating you in the event of an incident. Fines can be huge for companies breaching their responsibilities, especially in the event that the waste is hazardous.
Furthermore, with hazardous and recyclable waste, YOU have a duty of care to ensure that this is separated and dealt with properly. Guidance can be found relatively easily on the Internet, or via the environment agency website. Profit Through Change can however assist with this process if required and offers services to enable old equipment, for example computers, VDU’s, etc to be recycled.
