Description
The Environmental Protection Act 1990 allows Chichester District Council (CDC), Adur District Council and Worthing Borough Council (A&W) (collectively referred to as 'the Councils' in this document) to collect commercial waste from businesses and a charge to be levied for this service. The Councils business waste and recycling service is well established, has a good local reputation and has successfully expanded in recent years.
The Councils have a duty to ensure all waste collected is properly disposed of and must therefore have a contract in place with a supplier to provide processing and disposal services. (Waste duty of care: code of practice (accessible version) - GOV.UK)
