Commercial waste must be packed in suitable containers so that
it cannot fall out, blow away or escape from the receptacle such
that it could cause pollution or harm to anyone.
Under the duty of care regulations spillages or incorrect waste
storage is the responsibility of the producer of the waste and they
must ensure that their waste is contained properly and securely to
ensure that spillage does not occur.
For more information on duty of care visit the
duty of care page.
We will investigate notifications of spillage of commercial
waste and ensure that the producer takes all appropriate action to
remedy the problem.
