Duty of Care
To comply with current legislation, lamps have to be collected from your premises with the accompaniment of a Consignment Note for Hazardous Waste. On receipt at our Licensed Waste Transfer Station we record the collection on The Environment Agency Returns Data Base.
Consignee Quarterly Returns
At the end of each quarter you will receive a copy of your Producer Returns; both the Consignment Note and the Returns should be filed together. Should your company be audited, this would be a satisfactory conclusion to that collection.

to recycle redundant IT equipment, computer monitors, televisions
