Promise the Earth for World Environment Day
World Environment Day is over now but you can still promise the Earth and save the planet. From reducing your waste to working on a community project, you can do something to protect the environment. Make your promise now.
Ban on sending old tyres to landfill
From 16 July, you will no longer be able to send waste tyres to landfill sites. This is to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, and to try to find better ways to manage waste tyres. Find out here what you now need to do with waste tyres.
Creating a better place
Read our plan for improving the environment now and in the future. We will improve quality of air, land and water nationally and locally, and we’ll work with businesses to help them reduce the effect their work has on the environment. Read our strategy to create a better place for you.
Renew your hazardous waste producer registration
If you registered as a hazardous waste producer with us last year, you must renew your registration after 12 months. If you haven’t registered before and you produce hazardous waste at your premises, you can register now. Find out how to register or renew.
Have your say on abstraction licensing
We give licences to people who need to take or store water from a river, canal or underground source. You can now see who is applying for a licence, and how you can have your say on water abstraction and impoundment applications in your area.
