Trade Waste prices
Newport City Council has reviewed its Trade Waste prices (pdf) for 2022-23.
The new prices will come into effect from 1st April 2022.
Your responsibilities
Businesses that generate waste must have a trade waste contract with a registered waste carrier.
Failure to do this could result in enforcement action being taken.
It is your legal duty to make sure your waste goes to a licensed site and you are responsible for making sure that the company that removes your waste is registered.
Waste carriers carry a certificate of registration from the Environment Agency and you should keep a copy of this.
You also need to transfer your waste to a licensed site through a carrier using Waste Transfer Notes, documentation that you must complete and that is transported with the waste.
With a regular collection you may only need to do this once a year, your carrier will advise and help you.
You need to make sure that the place to which your waste is sent is licensed by the Environment Agency to accept it - the carrier should be able to supply you with a copy of the licence.
Make sure you see the licence schedule which states what type of waste the site is licensed to take: it is your duty under the law to make sure that your waste goes to a site licensed to take it.
