UPDATE
New legislation from October 2007 your
Non–Hazardous waste such as general trade waste
must be treated before being land filled.
As
previously reported in the *February
issue these new rules mean that from the 30th October
2007 non-hazardous waste must be treated before it is
disposed of at a landfill site and any liquid waste
will be banned altogether from landfills.
This in essence means that your general waste must be
sorted through a physical means or other process to
help reduce its volume or nature and aid in the recovery...
COURT
OF APPEAL RULING FAVOURS CONCEPT THAT WASTE OIL WHICH HAS BEEN
TREATED CAN BE USED AS A FUEL
“A
lubricating oil which was collected after use and processed
into fuel oil for burning, could as a matter of law cease
to be waste before it was burnt as fuel….”
This
judgement has caused some problems for the Environment Agency
and DEFRA which now have been set a task to determine exactly
when recycled oil can no longer be classed as waste but
as fuel.
This process of coming up with the exact specification of
fuel not waste is expected to take some time and until this
process is completed the waste oil will still have to be
treated as waste under Waste Incineration Directive and
disposed as such.
