Abstract

Draws attention to the Control of Pollution Act 1974 (Commencement No.19) which revises and clarifies collection authorities' responsibilities for the collection of waste; sets collection authorities' powers for the provision and use of dustbins and other containers for waste storage; and defines the relationship between collection and disposal authorities. Also considers the Collection and Disposal of Waste Regulations 1988, which define the difference between household, industrial and commercial waste, describe when household waste may be charged for, and explain when a disposal licence is not required.
