Q |
I am not sure if we produce hazardous
waste |
|
A |
In the past,
most companies did not produce hazardous waste.
However on the 15th July 2005 numerous items
previously not classed as hazardous waste are to
be reclassified. The two main ones are CRT
monitors and lead acid batteries.

Do you need to register |
|

If you dispose of 200kgs or more
of hazardous waste per year then you will need
to register with the Environment Agency. This is
about 15 monitors.

Q |
What happens if I do not register? |

the Environment Agency your computer recycler
will not be allowed to collect any computer
