We want to know what you think about our plans to improve the waste carrier, broker and dealer system in England.

We want to move it from a registration to a permit-based system. We also want to enhance background checks needed to operate as a waste carrier, broker or dealer and introduce a technical competence requirement.

We intend to make it easier for regulators to enforce against non-compliant operators and make it harder for un-registered operators to find work.
