The government's recent Landfill Directive introduced further restrictions on waste disposals.
All flammable materials are banned from landf ills, and by 2007 all liquid wastes will be banned, hazardous or otherwise. Consequently, by 2005 there will be around only 12 landfill sites in the UK which are legally able to accept hazardous wastes.
This may cause some rise in waste disposal costs, although companies heavily into recycling should show only minimal increases.
In July, tyres were banned from hazardous waste landfill site: and by 2006 they will be banned from any such site.
Some 300,000 tonnes of used tyres are recovered or recycle each year, which leaves around 180,000 tonnes to be managed some other way.
Under Duty of Care, any workshop or bodyshop that employ contractor to remove and dispose of waste tyres is advised to ch fully that the contractor is operating properly and legally.
