BPCA Head of Membership, Dee Ward-Thompson, said: “On assessments and over the phone, we hear from members across the country that are struggling with their pest-related waste. “Reliance is in a unique position as they completely understand our sector. We’re confident they’ll be able to help with your waste queries.” 

Reliance offers an online portal that contains all your job reports and waste management notes. That means you’ll have full visibility of your waste records and can tick a crucial legal requirement with minimal effort.
