Environment Agency Registered Operator
WasteRound Ltd operates strictly in full accordance with The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011. Every load collected by our uniformed crews is transported in company-owned vehicles to authorized, licensed transfer sites.
1 Environment Agency Carrier Licensing
In the United Kingdom, any business that transports, arranges, or disposes of controlled waste is required by law to hold a valid Waste Carrier, Broker, and Dealer Licence issued by the Environment Agency.
WASTEROUND LTD (Company No. 17425036) operates with full carrier registration. We operate under strict regulatory standards that govern the handling, transport, transfer, and ultimate recycling destination of all materials collected across Greater London.
Full Upper Tier Authorisation
Licensed to transport commercial, residential, construction, and domestic bulky waste directly to authorised recycling and disposal facilities.
£5,000,000 Public Liability
Comprehensive commercial and public liability insurance protects your property, driveway, and public areas during every removal operation.
2 Customer Legal Duty of Care (Section 34, EPA 1990)
Under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, every occupier of a domestic household or business premises has a statutory "Duty of Care" to take all reasonable measures to ensure their waste is only handed to an authorised, licensed waste carrier.
Avoid £5,000 Municipal Fly-Tipping Fines
Under UK law, if you pay an unregistered cowboy clearance operator who subsequently dumps your rubbish in a London lane or public park, YOU are held legally responsible and face an unlimited fine (typically £5,000+ in magistrates' court). Using WasteRound Ltd shields you completely with full legal indemnification and audit proof.
By booking with WasteRound Ltd, you fulfil 100% of your legal Duty of Care obligations because:
- We verify and record our waste carrier registration on every job.
- We issue an official Waste Transfer Note with complete waste classification.
- We guarantee 100% transfer only to legally permitted UK recycling and recovery facilities.
3 Digital Waste Transfer Notes (WTN)

4 Circular Economy & 92%+ Landfill Diversion
Rather than taking rubbish straight to a landfill tip, WasteRound Ltd operates a strict Circular Sorting Protocol. Everything collected is categorized at recovery hubs into core material streams:
Timber & Wood
Wardrobes, pallets, and joists are chipped into biofuel pellets or recycled board products.
Metals Recovery
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals (bed frames, pipes, radiators) are 100% smelted and remanufactured.
Green & Garden Waste
Hedge cuttings, turf, and branches are transformed into peat-free organic agricultural compost.
Inert Rubble & Hardcore
Bricks, concrete, and soil are crushed into Type 1 MOT aggregate for London civil construction.
5 POPs Regulations 2023: Domestic Upholstered Seating
Since 1 January 2023, the UK Environment Agency strictly enforces regulations regarding Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in waste upholstered domestic seating (including sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, kitchen chairs, futons, and cushions).
Many foam fire-retardants manufactured prior to 2019 contain DecaBDE and related chemicals that must not enter domestic landfills or mixed shredders.
- Separated Logistics: WasteRound Ltd keeps upholstered furniture segregated during transport to prevent contamination of general recycling streams.
- High-Temperature Thermal Destruction: All POPs-containing waste is transported exclusively to specialized high-temperature energy-from-waste (EfW) facilities, safely destroying pollutants while generating electricity for the National Grid.
6 WEEE & Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS)
Under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations:
- Refrigeration Units (Fridges & Freezers): Domestic and commercial fridges contain dangerous ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs/HCFCs) in their compressor circuits and insulation foam. Our team transfers all refrigeration equipment to certified Approved Authorized Treatment Facilities (AATFs) where gases are extracted in negative-pressure sealed chambers.
- Display Screens & IT Equipment: CRTs, LED monitors, televisions, and circuit boards undergo specialized hazardous disassembly to safely recover rare earth metals and neutralize heavy metals (lead, cadmium).
7 Commercial Trade Rounds & Council Audits
London local borough councils (e.g. Brent, Harrow, Barnet, Camden, Westminster, Ealing) conduct regular compliance inspections of local cafés, restaurants, salons, and offices. Business owners must present valid commercial waste contracts and transfer notes on demand or face fixed penalty notices.
Our Commercial Trade Round provides:
- Fixed weekly scheduled collection slots with zero lock-in contracts.
- Annual commercial Waste Transfer Documentation satisfying all environmental health inspections.
- Itemized collection invoicing for transparent accounting and tax deductibility.
8 In-House Fleet Standards & Zero Subcontracting
The single greatest compliance vulnerability in the London waste removal industry is subcontracting. When broker websites sell your job to an unvetted third-party driver, compliance breaks down.
The WasteRound Ltd Guarantee:
We own our vehicles and employ our crews. The uniformed two-man team that arrives at your door is directly employed by WASTEROUND LTD, operating our company Luton vans with GPS route tracking, tachograph compliance, and rigorous health and safety training.
