Don't be a fool!

Did you know that on 1 April 2016, the Hazardous Waste Regulations changed and the registration of premises is now no longer required. Dental practices must ensure that the full range of waste generated is properly, legally, safely and effectively disposed of, ensuring that risks or potential risks of contamination or infection both within and external to the practice are minimised. But this enw development t certainly cuts the burden for dental practices. These changes to the Hazardous Waste Regulations means dental practices in England no longer have to register their premises with the Environment Agency, cutting down on the administrative burden for practices. So, if you produce or store more than 500kg of hazardous waste per year, you will no longer need to register your premises with the Environment Agency. That's the good news.
