Advice for businesses when dealing with waste
Businesses, of course, have a Duty of Care, and environmental regulations state that every business or establishment that produces waste has the responsibility for managing it properly. If you do not do so for any
reason your establishment or business is at risk of prosecution with the possibility of a fine if found guilty in court. If you want to check whether
you are doing the right thing or you don’t know what to do to fully comply with your Duty of Care obligations, go to
www.rightwasterightplace.com. As a business you might also like
to join the Trading Standards approved Buy with Confidence scheme. To find a Buy With
Confidence business near to you, search:
www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk Buy With Confidence is the
business approval scheme operated by Trading Standards. It enables its members to promote the fact that they believe in and deliver excellent customer service. Membership involves Trading Standards vetting and monitoring, to assure the public that they are trustworthy, honest and reliable traders that can help to steer people away from those that give legitimate businesses a bad name. By joining Buy With Confidence, waste hauliers can show the public that as well as being registered to carry waste, they are legitimate traders that comply with the other legislation relevant to their business
and provide excellent customer service. Using a Buy With Confidence member to take your waste away to an official waste processing facility can help to remove the scourge of fly tipping from our communities. By working together, the
partnership can help to restore a pride of place and a sense of ownership in communities, maintain the reputation of Devon’s superb environment; reduce crime; enable more resilient, healthy and happy communities; make cost savings and assist with developing a more prosperous economy.
