What is Trade Waste? |
Any waste that comes from a commercial activity is defined as Trade Waste . However small the amount of waste produced, it is all trade waste - that could be food waste from a take-away shop to a few cardboard boxes.
If you use part of your home to run your business then any waste from that part is business waste.
Your responsibilities
keep waste to a minimum by doing everything you reasonably can to prevent, reuse, recycle or recover waste (in that order)
sort and store waste safely and securely
complete a waste transfer note for each load of waste that leaves your premises
check if your waste carrier is registered to dispose of waste
make every effort to ensure your waste carrier is disposing of your waste at a licensed waste disposal site
You have extra responsibilities if you’re dealing with hazardous waste.
Is your business compliant with Trade Waste law?
- All businesses, whatever size, must be able to produce a Waste Transfer Notice (WTN) to prove where all of their waste is being disposed
- If a business cannot provide a WTN for all waste it can face a fine of up to £5000

Your trade waste cannot: |
be taken to any Recycling Centre for Household Waste - “the tip”
be presented for collection with household waste
