There is separate guidance on how to register as a waste carrier if you are a waste transporter, buyer, seller, broker or dealer. You are breaking the law if you operate without a permit when you should have one. This permit can be for activities at one site or for mobile plant that can be used at many sites. You may need to apply to the Environment Agency for an environmental permit if your business uses, recycles, treats, stores or disposes of waste or mining waste.
