Get wise to waste rules
TEES Valley firms have been warned to wise up to new waste rules - or face paying significantly more to dispose of their rubbish.
That’s the message from Chris Hayward, technical manager for recycling and waste management with Renew Tees Valley, which is involved in a breakfast workshop on Monday aimed at explaining the steps companies can take to meet the requirements of the EC Landfill Directive for non-hazardous and inert commercial and industrial waste, which comes into force the following day.
From October 30 these categories of waste must undergo pre-treatment before being deposited to landfill.
Renew Tees Valley is collaborating with the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Waste Management (CIWM) and Envirowise in organising Monday's breakfast workshop, which is due to take place at the South Tees Business Centre, Puddlers Road, Middlesbrough, starting at 8.30am.
There is no charge to attend.
