Waste Regulations
Do you need to comply with regulations relating to waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)? The Environment Agency is offering free and impartial advice at two free 'surgery style' events in the South West.

Staff from the Agency will be available to answer questions from businesses on their responsibilities relating to WEEE, batteries, packaging or hazardous waste in a pre-booked half hour slot. The advice will help companies decide if they are legally obligated under the regulations.
 
Companies that may be interested in this event might be manufacturers , rebranders or importers of electrical and electronic equipment or they may be a company that adds packaging to products, or handles hazardous waste. This legislation applies to many businesses carrying out these day-to-day activities.

The advice days are taking place at:
•  X Centre, Commercial Road, Exeter EX2 4AD on the 3rd  March 2010
•  The Green House, Chelson Meadow Recycling Centre, Plymouth PL1 2AA on the 10th  March 2010
 
The days aim to provide advice tailored to the businesses' need in a half hour pre-booked slot. People who want to take part in the event should contact Rosalind Keenan on 01392 316180 or email rosalind.keen@environment-agency.gov.uk to book an appointment. Appointments vary in time according to needs and are available on a first come first served basis.
