Unlicensed waste treatment or breach of permit conditions

Receiving, sorting, crushing and storing waste can fall under different rules. The actual activity, waste types and quantities authorised at the site must be identified.

What to check in your case

We compare the activity with the permit’s technical annex, European waste codes and authorised capacity. We also check whether a licensing exemption applied to that precise operation.

Documents for your defence

Full notice or decision, front and back, and evidence of the date of service.

  • Permit and current annexes, amendments and pending applications
  • Intake and dispatch records, weight tickets and process description
