If you are involved in the movement of hazardous waste, including:
- Its removal from your premises
- Transport
- Intermediate storage
- Disposal or recovery
You must maintain records in a register of each waste involved. You must also maintain records where hazardous waste is disposed or recovered at the same site as its production or storage.
As a producer, consignor, holder, carrier or consignee, you need to:
- Keep records in a register of hazardous waste movements.
- Supply specified information to the Environment Agency or the emergency services, when required to do so.
If you are a consignee (you receive hazardous waste) you must also:
- Keep records showing the locations where wastes are kept or deposited on your site
- Provide returns to producers, holders or consignors.
More information about record keeping can be found here
