The Waste Management (Collection Permit) Regulations 2007 (SI 820 of 2007) as amended by the Waste Management (Collection Permit)(Amendment) Regulations 2008 (SI 87 of 2008) came into operation on the 1st June 2008.
The Office of Environmental Enforcement (OEE) of the EPA was tasked with preparing guidance on the Regulations. The OEE established a steering committee (consisting of EPA, Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government and Local/Nominated Authority representatives) to oversee the work with Enviros Consulting Ltd. acting as consultants to the project. The guidance material was published in May 2008 and consists of a guidance manual, application process flow charts and a template application form. The guidance can be accessed via the links below.
The guidance documents are principally for the assistance of Local/Nominated Authorities in carrying out their functions under the Regulations. However, the documents should also be of benefit to other stakeholders including private sector waste operators and the general public. The documents are guidance only and do not constitute definitive legal opinion. The relevant legislation should always be consulted and, in case of doubt, legal opinion should be sought.
