Registration is usually free if you only transport waste you produce yourself. Otherwise, registration costs £154.

If waste is your main business, you’ll need:

• names and dates of birth of the organisation’s executives, owners, directors or partners
• details of any environmental offences they’ve committed
• a way to pay (for example, a debit or credit card)

What happens after you register

Once you’ve registered, your organisation’s details appear in the .

Renew your registration

When you register, you’ll be told whether your registration is ‘upper tier’ or ‘lower tier’.

If you have an upper tier registration, you must every 3 years. It costs £105.

You do not need to renew a lower tier registration.

What to do if your details change

You must contact the Environment Agency within 28 days to update your registration if:

• your organisation’s contact details change
• your organisation’s management changes
• someone in management is convicted of an environmental offence
• your organisation changes what it does, for example you’re registered as a waste carrier but start acting as a waste broker as well

It costs £40 to change what your organisation does.

You must make a new registration if:

• your business type has legally changed, for example if you change from a sole trader to a limited company
• you’re changing from a lower tier to an upper tier registration

It costs £154 to make a new registration.

Contact the Environment Agency if you’re not sure what to do.
