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:
- will be audited by the Council who will check that the waste you pick up is disposed of correctly
- should comply with the WasteMINZ Liquid and Hazardous Wastes Code of Practice.
The Liquid and Hazardous Wastes Code of Practice was updated in 2012:
Liquid and Hazardous Wastes Code of Practice (2nd Edition) - WasteMINZ
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.
