Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 February 2025

Debate

Separation of Waste (England) Regulations 2025

Contribution

Finally, the noble Lord asked about rural areas and collections—I apologise if I have missed any of his other questions. Under Section 45 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, councils are required to arrange for the collection of commercial waste in their area if requested by the occupier of the premises. So, by implementing simpler recycling, we will ensure that all businesses, whether rural or urban, have access to this expanded range of recycling services.
