What are the requirements for my business?
The requirements you need to meet will vary depending on how your business activity is classified: low risk or trade waste agreement required. Check your classification.
Low risk: If your business activity is low risk, e.g. a lawyer’s office, your business activity does not need a trade waste agreement.
Trade waste agreement required: If you discharge liquid waste that is not classified as low risk, you need a trade waste agreement. Learn more: Trade waste agreements
