Waste Collection Permit
All waste collection operators (other than a local authority) must have a licence or permit to collect, transport and manage the waste that they collect. Those involved in waste collection activities must apply to a nominated local authority for a Waste Collection Permit. This requirement applies to individuals, companies and partnership as stated under the Waste Management (Collection Permit) Regulations, 2007 and Waste Management (Collection Permit) (Amendment) Regulations 2008.
Local Authorities are responsible for granting waste collection permits for all waste collection areas. These permits lay down the terms under which private operators can collect and transport wastes. There are exemptions from the requirement to hold a waste collection permit under Article 30 of the Waste Collection Permit Regulations. A person shall not collect waste for the purposes of reward with a view to profit or otherwise without a valid Waste Collection Permit.
Single Region Waste Collection Permit
A single region Waste Collection Permit is a permit granted by a Nominated Authority for the purposes of collecting waste within that Nominated Authorities Region.
Multi Regional Waste Collection Permit
In the case of a multi-regional waste collection permit the holder is permitted to transport and collect waste within the local authority area(s) permitted. This can include, if requested, all ten Nominated Authority areas which would essentially cover collection activities in the entire Republic of Ireland. Multi-Regional Waste Collection Permits are issued by the Nominated Authority in which the principal waste collection activities will take place i.e. the Region in which the greatest quantity(tonnages) of waste will be collected or the greatest number of premises will be served.
Waste Facility/Management Permit
Any individual, company or partnership involved in waste recovery activities require a Waste Facility Permit, which must be obtained from a nominated local authority. This is in accordance with the Waste Management (Facility Permit and Registration Regulations 2007 and Waste Management (Facility Permit and Registration) (Amendment) Regulations 2008. These activities include:
• The deposition of soil and stones to raise a site or improve agricultural benefit of the land/Land reclamation
• Recycling/Sorting Centres
• Car Dismantling Facilities
A Waste Facility/Management Permit is required for a site for the recovery or disposal of waste up to a maximum of 100,000tonnes. For sites with tonnages over 100,000tonnes, a Waste Licence will be required from the EPA.
A Waste Facility/Management Permit is granted for a period of five years. The permit will expire after the five year period if a review is not initiated within the five year period at least 60 days before the expiry date.
