These Regulations set out the regime for the control and tracking of the movement of hazardous waste for the purpose of implementing the EU Hazardous Waste Directive in Northern Ireland. The Regulations define hazardous waste and set out how the Regulations apply to that waste and includes an exemption from these controls for domestic waste, which displays hazardous properties but not if it comprises asbestos waste or is collected separately. In both cases, the Regulations do not impose obligations directly on householders.
