The professional pest management industry is entering a key period of change. As standards rise, the need for a clear, credible and practical career pathway has never been more important.
Any companies removing waste from sites (even small amounts of spent bait, UV tubes or packaging) must register with the Government. If waste collection is not your main business, registration is free and only required once. This will apply to most BPCA members. Some members may already be involved in waste management and would be registered anyway.
For information on how to register as a waste carrier, broker or dealer, visit www.gov.uk/waste-carrier-or-broker-registration
