Definition of Waste: Code of Practice

 

The DoW CoP provides a clear, consistent and efficient process which enables the reuse of excavated materials on-site or their movement between sites.

Use of the DoW CoP supports the sustainable and cost-effective development of land. It can provide an alternative to Environmental Permits or Waste Exemptions.

The DoW CoP enables:

• the direct transfer and reuse of clean naturally occurring soil materials between sites
• the conditions to support the establishment/operation of fixed soil treatment facilities
• the reuse of both contaminated/uncontaminated materials on their site of origin and between sites within defined Cluster projects
