Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC)

A waste exemption is a very specific type of low risk waste handling operation that does not require a permit. New regulations changing waste exemptions were introduced on 6th April 2010. They affect the types of waste operation that are exempt and the rules which control them.

Registration of exemptions by Ipswich Borough Council is free and lasts for three years. To continue operating for longer than this you will need to renew your registration.

There are four categories of exemptions:

1. Use;
2. Treatment;
3. Disposal;
4. Storage.

The register of exempt waste operations is available to download and complete:
