Environmental permit exemptions
ADL Environmental Ltd can advise and assist you with applying for an Environmental permit exemption. Our experience and know how allows us to help you apply for your exemption as quickly and cost effectively as possible.
If you carry out waste activities that have a relatively low impact on the environment your activities may be exempt and you may need to:
- register an exemption for an exempt waste operation
- notify the Environment Agency if your activity is set out in a regulatory position statement.
There are a range of waste activities that may be exempt from environmental permitting, including:
- composting biodegradable waste for cultivating mushrooms
- crushing, grinding or other size reduction of waste
- cleaning or coating waste packaging, containers and textiles
- storing waste securely
- treating waste to recover materials
- burning waste in an exempt incinerator at the place where the waste was produced
- storing waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) for recovery at another place.
It should be noted that this list is not exhaustive and advice should be sort if you are unsure of your obligations. Please contact us to discuss if an exemption is right for you.
