Waste
Legislation
Changes to the Protection of
the Environment Operations Act 1997 and the Protection of the
Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2005 were made on 28
April 2008.
The effect of these changes
was to:
- simplify waste facility
licensing;
- simplify waste
classification;
- set clearer requirements for
managing clinical and asbestos waste; and
- introduce a framework to
support genuine recovery of waste material for land application or
used as fuel.
