Stay compliant with changes to exemption rules

摘要

Back in January 2018, Defra and the Welsh Government consulted on crime and poor performance in the waste sector. A big part of that consultation was around the future of exemptions. In February 2023, the Government published its long-awaited response to that consultation and, as some of us expected, it heralds the death of exemptions at permitted sites. It may also mark the end of free exemptions, with charges for exemptions likely to form part of a further consultation.
