Trade waste
Did you know that if you are self employed and work from home, by law, you cannot dispose of business related documents, mail envelopes or any thing trade related via your household waste.
You have to have a contract with a Trade Waste disposal company. Even if it is for just a couple of envelopes a month!
This will also include such as self-employed, financial advisors etc, etc if they work from home.
There is a £300 fixed penalty for non-compliance or an unlimited fine if it ends up in court.
If the H&E Enforcement Team pull your vehicle over, you will get a 'producer' giving you 14 days to prove you have a contract. If you haven't, you pay £300.

So true ....."The law stipulates that a charge must be made for trade wastesimilar trades producing the sort of waste that is of low volume and non hazardous...." Quote from Federation of Small Business's

collection is free and provided as a service by a local authority.
It is also illegal for businesses operated from "home" to place their waste in with domestic rubbish,

Re: Trade waste
The Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 and the Hazardous Waste (Wales) Regulations 2005 were amended on 6 April 2009 and 18 November 2009 respectively. This principally widened the scope of the exemption from hazardous waste producer registration:
- All types of premises that produce hazardous waste are now exempt from registration if no more than 500kg of hazardous waste is produced in a year.
- More details on registrations can be found on

Re: Trade waste
Nope, sorry, that won't work. I tried it.
Anyone running a business from home must have a trade waste disposal contract.
This can be an invoice for disposal of your business waste but you will need them on a regular basis. If stopped, they will ask you for the last 12 months Invoices.
Don't confuse this with trade waste from a customer though. If you carry anything other than your own produced waste i.e box your part came in, you will need a Waste carriers Licence!
