The scrap metal industry is distinctly different from the rest of the waste industry. Although scrap metal operations are covered by the same regulatiosn as other recycling operations, many operators are family businesses of many years standing. The huge changes in regulation experienced by metal recyclers in recent years has been difficult for some to deal with.
AC Environmental count many scrap metal operators as their clients. We provide a vital source of information and advice to enable operators to cope with the plethora of regulations they now face. We’ve helped operators to continue in business by obtaining Certificates of Lawful Use, where sites, in operation for 40 years but without formal planning struggle with Council officers. we’ve obtined Environmental Permits for sites wanting to expand the range of treatment activities on site.
We’ve also provided the useful planning, permitting and support service including providing technically competent management (COTC / TCM). For many operators we are their most valuable source of information and the support service we provide ensures they are kept up to date with changes in legislation and their operations remain compliant.
