Do we need a hazardous waste license?

The Environment Agency has informed us that ALL schools have been made aware of this issue – but in our experience this isn’t true. The license itself is £18.00 which registers your site/school as a hazardous waste producer. It is the case that many smaller schools will be exempt from this license as you need to produce 500Kg + per year to require a licence, that’s roughly 28 CRT’s. We will leave you with a Hazardous waste consignment note to ensure your compliance with WEEE regulations.

A1's Positive aim is to improve the knowledge and skills within the alternative technology/education industry & to stop waste to Landfill and help reduce the Co2 emissions in the South-West of England.
