I enquired about a permit to dispose of F gas yesterday, and they informed me that I was the waste producer and not my customer, unless they ask me to decommission, in which case they become the producer and I become the transporter. I know I have posted about this topic before, but never bothered pursuing it further, but now I'm getting requests to decommission systems and issue a consignment note, I thought I'd better get it right.

So I obtained a waste producers licence yesterday to produce waste and transport it to the waste depot,(HRP), cost £28.00 over the phone. After reading it further on the environmental agency website, it says you don't have to register unless you produce more than 500 kg of waste per year. So I could have saved the hassle and the money, I've still got to get my head around filling in the consignment note though. Probably going to take me longer to do that than actually decommisioning the system.
