UK WASTE CARRIER REGISTRATION
Understanding waste carrier tiers
The registration category depends on what your business does with waste and the nation in which the business is based.
For certain lower-risk activities
Lower-tier registration can apply in specific circumstances, including certain businesses carrying waste they produce themselves. The exact rules differ between nations.
For wider waste activities
Upper-tier registration commonly applies when a business carries other people’s waste, carries certain construction or demolition waste, or acts as a waste broker or dealer, subject to the applicable national rules.
