Redundant Computer Monitors & Televisions with Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT), Fluorescent Light Tubes & Batteries likely to be found in Laptops, UPS's, Mobile Phones & PDA's etc. are now officially classed as Hazardous Waste.
The first part of the Hazardous Waste regulations came into force on 16 April 2005 with the requirement "Where hazardous waste is produced at or removed from, any premises other than exempt premises, the premises must be notified to the Environment Agency". This means that any business producing hazardous waste has a legal duty to register with the Environment Agency a premises where hazardous waste is produced. Each premises registered will be given a unique registration number - known as a 'premises code'.
Certain types of premises are exempt from the requirement to register if less than 200kg of hazardous waste are produced at specified premises in any twelve month period. These include domestic premises, shops, offices, agricultural premises, dental, veterinary or medical practices, ships, schools, prisons and charity premises.
