Waste Management - Duty of Care
Summary
All producers and handlers of wastes, other than householders and their domestic rubbish produced at home, have a legal Duty of Care for their wastes. This is a legal requirement that wastes must not escape their control until passed to a registered waste carrier. Even then producers and handlers of wastes continue to have responsibility for their wastes until their final treatment or disposal.
