These Regulations set out the regime for the control and tracking of the movement of hazardous waste for the purpose of implementing the Hazardous Waste Directive (Directive 91/689/EC). The Regulations apply in relation to Wales. Essentially, the Regulations regulate, subject to certain exclusions, the management of all types of waste, and impose additional requirements in relation to waste which displays certain hazardous properties. It is important to note that there is an exclusion 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.
