Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to comply with an environmental permit for a waste operation to accept separately collected household packaging waste when codes 15 01 01 to 15 01 09 are not in your environmental permit.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements..
