Hazardous Waste

Hazardous wastes are the most dangerous wastes. They can cause the greatest environmental damage or are dangerous to human health. CRT Monitors are classed as hazardous waste under the Hazardous waste regulation 2005 from 16th July 2005.

If you dispose of hazardous waste exceeding 200kg annually your premises will need to be registered as a hazardous waste producer. If you dispose of less than 200kg annually there are some exceptions, making you exempt from registering.

The fee to register is payable to the environment agency and is currently set at £18 for registering online. To register as a hazardous waste producer or for further details click on the environment agency link.
