Enters into force: 30 March 2016
Waste - Scotland
The Waste Management Licensing (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2016 amend the Waste Management Licensing (Scotland) Regulations 2011 to remove exemptions from waste management licensing for activities relating to the storage and treatment of waste tyres under paragraphs 11 or 17 of Schedule 1 to the 2011 Regulations.
• A Paragraph 17 exemption applies to the storage of up to 1,000 waste tyres (just under 10 tonnes) on a site at any one time so long as it is registered with SEPA.
• A Paragraph 11 exemption applies to the sorting, baling or shredding of up to 10 tonnes of waste tyres at any one time.
These exemptions will now require a waste management licence.
