Overview

Following support at public consultation, the Environment Act 2021 amended the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to include new requirements relating to the separate collection of waste in England. In 2021 the government consulted on the detail to go into regulations, including on the materials in scope of collection, exemptions, and implementation dates. This consultation seeks views on related policies regarding the collection of waste from non-domestic premises and information to potentially be recorded on the new waste tracking service.

Why your views matter

We want to know what you think about the proposed policies regarding the collection of waste from non-domestic premises and information to potentially be recorded on the new waste tracking service.
