Applying for a licence to transport or collect waste

The Council issues licences for companies collecting and transporting liquid waste.

To get a licence, you must:

• comply with the WasteMINZ Liquid and Hazardous Waste Code of Practice
• be audited by the Council who will check that the waste you pick up is disposed of correctly.

To apply for a licence, call the Council and ask to speak to the Trade Waste Officer.

The Officer will arrange a time to check your control systems including waste types, mixing, volume and disposal to approved sites.

Note:
The Liquid and Hazardous Waste Code of Practice is currently being updated and should be available in 2012 at:

WasteMINZ
