Registration of Carrier Guidance
Applying for Registration as a Carrier of, Broker of, or Dealer in controlled waste. Carriers, Brokers and Dealers businesses carrying controlled waste as part of their business or for profit are required to register as a carrier. Most businesses arranging to dispose or recover waste for others are required to register as a broker. Most businesses using an agent to buy and then sell waste need to register as a dealer.
Businesses that only transport, broker or deal in certain types of waste and some organisations are eligible to register as ‘Lower Tier’. All other people must register as ‘Upper Tier’.
