Waste Management

We can provide assistance, advice and representation in the two primary areas concerning waste management law.

1) Compliance with Waste Management Legislation

Any individual or company who is involved in any occupation, process, business or industry which may involve a waste output or the transportation, storage or disposal of waste material is obliged to conform with the requirements of the Waste Management Act, 1996 (as amended). We can fully advise as to your obligations in this regard and where licensing of activities etc. is required.

Nearly all business activity involves the production of waste outputs as waste is very widely defined under the Act(s) therefore should you have any queries it is important to take full legal advice to ensure full compliance with the legislation and to avoid a possible prosecution.

2) Waste Management Prosecutions

We have considerable experience acting for clients who face or have been prosecuted for offences under the Waste Management Act. Such offences usually involve the holding, collection or moving of waste or failing to hold the appropriate license or acting in breach of a condition of same. Should it come to your attention that such a prosecution is pending or is being considered it is important to obtain legal advice as a matter of urgency.
