As a Waste Manager, we have a number of obligations to you as a customer and to our partners who help us recycle the WEEE that cannot be recovered. This forms a chain of information which ensure a number of things happen:

• All producers, carriers, treatment facilities and recyclers are registered and approved by the UK government's environmental regulators – The Environment Agency (EA). You can view a copy of BRES' licences on the forms page.
• Every movement of waste must be accompanied by a waste transfer note or a hazardous waste consignment note
• All hazardous waste transfers must be reported quarterly to the EA and so every time we receive a consignment of hazardous waste, we log it and then at the end of the quarter we report it to the EA. A fee is payable to the EA for every consignment we receive and report
• We also report to you, our customer, at the end of each calendar quarter, telling you what we have received from you in the previous 3 months. Reports can be provided to our customers which give them the serial number/asset number register of every item received (with the exception of small WEEE, cables, scrap or parts), what the item is, when it was received and whether the item is recycled or refurbished just to mention a few

BRES is currently achieving its 100% recovery and zero landfill targets!

Duty of Care
All companies producing more than 200kg of hazardous waste per calendar year must register with the Environment Agency (EA) as a hazardous waste producer. Also all collectors and carriers of any waste must be registered with the EA as a waste carrier and your duty of care extends to ensuring that your waste collector is registered (as for a copy of their licence). All waste carriers and producers also have a Duty of Care to ensure that the waste collected is only delivered to licenced premises. The Company receiving the waste must also issue you with a report at the end of the quarter, giving all details of the waste you have disposed of and you must keep these records for at least 2 years.

BRES will issue all paperwork on your behalf and also issue a report of the status of your waste, clarifying if your WEEE was refurbished and reused or recycled. BRES also provides a quarterly report to the EA on all hazardous waste treated by the company.

All this really means is that you can concentrate on your core business and confidently leave your WEEE recycling and related environmental legislation compliance issues to us.
