Abstract

The Environment Agency is legally required to monitor all movements of hazardous waste in England and Wales. Hazardous waste producers are required to provide data about the wastes they move and the site where the waste is disposed or recovered is required to inform us of the details of the wastes they receive. Hazardous waste producer data is commercially confidential. However a summary of the movements is provided in this Hazardous Waste Interrogator. Only high-level waste classification geographical locations (where the waste was produced and where the waste management facility is located) and tonnage is included. Individual site names and producers details are not included. INFORMATION WARNING High level summary data. Does not include individual producers’ and site details. Double counting element of the same waste making multiple movements should be noted. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2018. All rights reserved.
