Understanding your responsibilities
Waste Compliance Should Be Practical, Documented and Easy to Follow
Businesses that produce or control waste have legal responsibilities for how that waste is stored, described, transferred and handled. Good compliance is therefore not simply a matter of arranging a collection; it also involves choosing suitable providers, keeping appropriate records and making sure waste is managed safely.
SK Waste Solutions can help review the practical side of your current arrangements, identify gaps in documentation or supplier information, and coordinate suitable waste services where changes are required.
Our aim is to make day-to-day compliance easier to manage without creating unnecessary administration for your business.
Core compliance areas
Four Areas Every Business Should Keep Under Control
The precise requirements depend on the waste involved and how it is handled, but these are among the most common areas that need regular attention.
02
Waste Transfer Notes
Non-hazardous business waste movements require suitable transfer documentation containing the necessary information, with records retained for the required period.
03
Hazardous Waste Records
Hazardous waste movements require consignment documentation and must follow the relevant controls for classification, transport and receipt.
04
Provider Verification
Businesses should check that carriers, brokers, dealers and receiving facilities hold the registrations or authorisations relevant to the service being provided.

How We Help Strengthen Your Waste Compliance
We focus on the practical controls your team actually needs to manage, rather than turning compliance into an unnecessarily complicated exercise.

4
Support
Where requested, we can coordinate suitable licensed providers and remain available as your waste requirements change.
Important to remember
Using a Waste Contractor Does Not Remove Your Own Responsibilities
Businesses should take reasonable steps to understand where their waste is going, who is handling it and whether the accompanying information is suitable. Keeping clear records and checking providers helps demonstrate that these responsibilities are being taken seriously.
SK Waste Solutions can support the practical management of these arrangements, but responsibility for legal compliance remains with the relevant business or waste holder. Specialist legal advice should be obtained where required.
