Duty of Care
Current legislation Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 places a "Duty of Care" on commercial premises to ensure that waste produced by (or at) business premises is collected and disposed of by a registered or licenced waste carrier or waste collection authority. This includes waste from any commercial activity run from a household.
Here you can find more information on your responsibilities for commercial or business waste.
There are many different waste management companies operating collection services locally. The Environment Agency website contains a list of registered waste carriers.
