A waste collector must comply with the conditions attached to their waste collection permit, issued under the Waste Management (Collection Permit ) Regulations 2007, as amended, which set out the environmental standards in relation to the collection of waste. Waste collection in individual local authority areas may also be subject to local bye-laws. The charges applied by waste management companies are a matter between those companies and their customers, subject to compliance with all applicable environmental and other relevant legislation.
