The Controlled Waste Duty of Care Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013 sets out the legal duties and responsibilities for anyone who produces, carries, keeps, treats or disposes of controlled waste in Northern Ireland. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure that waste is managed safely and legally, with a focus on preventing waste crime and protecting the environment. The requirements include the need for proper waste management, documentation and record-keeping, as well as measures to prevent unauthorized disposal or release of waste into the environment. The regulations apply to any person or organization that produces, carries, keeps, treats or disposes of controlled waste in Northern Ireland, including households, businesses, local authorities, waste contractors and anyone who manages waste as part of their work.
The Controlled Waste Duty of Care Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013 require waste producers to ensure that their waste is transferred to authorized persons who will manage it correctly. Evidence of compliance can be demonstrated through waste transfer notes, which must contain specific information about the waste, the producer, the carrier, and the facility where it will be treated or disposed of. The waste producer must keep a copy of the waste transfer note for at least two years, and failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties and fines.
The Controlled Waste Duty of Care Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013 does not provide specific exemptions. However, the regulations recognize that some persons may not have control over the waste and therefore cannot comply with the duty of care requirements. For example, householders are not required to comply with the regulations, and waste carriers and brokers are exempt from the regulations when transporting certain types of waste such as agricultural waste, waste from mines and quarries, and waste from dredging.
