 Unsurprisingly, how businesses dispense with waste cooking oil is, and will increasingly be closely monitored. Illegal fly-tipping is potentially hazardous, and it is in all our interests to ensure the industry is law abiding if it is to escape more punitive legislation. If your current waste oil collection company is not registered, your company is breaking the law.
It is the responsibility of the producers of used cooking oil (caterers) to ensure they follow the Duty Of Care standards set by the EU;
1. Used Cooking Oil MUST be collected by a registered, Licensed waste carrier collection company.
2. Producers MUST sign and receive a ‘Controlled Waste Transfer Collection Note’.
3. Used cooking oil MUST be in lidded containers.
