Also known as a waste carrier licence, you need a waste disposal licence if you:
Transport waste (a carrier)
Buy, sell, or dispose of business waste (a dealer)
Arranges for someone else to buy, sell, or dispose of business waste (a broker)
They were introduced in 2014 in the UK and are issued by the Environment Agency. Licences help reduce fly-tipping, and ensure companies make smarter, more sustainable decisions when it comes to business waste disposal.
