Toilet hire and liquid waste disposal in Hertfordshire – why choosing an Environment Agency licence holder matters

An important factor for event planners and organisers when researching suppliers is to consider whether they are licenced by The Environment Agency. But, what does that mean? What does it mean to be an Environment Agency licence holder and how do you benefit as the customer?

What Is The Environment Agency?

In the UK, The Environment Agency is the government body with responsibility for the environment. Companies that handle waste include portable toilet hire and liquid waste disposal businesses, and these must be registered with The Environment Agency. Registered licence holders are bound by environmental regulations to uphold standards of practice and they are legally able to collect, transport, and dispose of waste.

Why Environment Agency licencing matters for toilet hire

Toilet hire companies do not just deliver and collect their portable toilet units – they must also ensure that waste is stored, handled and removed and disposed of correctly. This includes:

•    Servicing and emptying of portable units during and after a hire period.

•    Transporting the waste for appropriate disposal.

•    Lawful disposal at licensed waste treatment facilities.
