How to Comply

It's your responsibility - Every organisation that produces waste is responsible for what happens to it - and that means making sure that it is pre-treated.

Viridor provides a one-stop-shop service in many areas, collecting and processing waste via its licensed Waste Transfer Stations and Materials Recycling Facilities. This is a good way to ensure that as much of your waste is recycled or recovered prior to landfilling the residue.

Alternatively, you may be able to pre-treat your wastes on your own premises. Wastes are defined as ‘treated' if the characteristics of the waste have been changed in one of four ways. These are by:

  1. Reducing its volume, for example by removing recyclable materials such as glass, plastic and paper.
  2. Changing its nature, for example by chemical treatment so as to reduce its hazardous nature.
  3. Making it easier to handle.
  4. Enhancing its recovery.
