Defra consultation on construction, demolition and excavation waste
January 10 2008
Defra, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Environment Agency have launched a consultation on proposed changes to regulations for dealing with construction, demolition and excavation waste.
The informal consultation focuses on the rules for the recovery and disposal of inert waste such as brick, concrete and subsoil.
The proposals cover topics such as testing inert wastes that are landfilled, the quality of guidance, and terminology used to describe the waste.
Responses have to be returned by March 21. The paper can be found at www.defra.gov.uk/environment/waste/topics/index.htm
