Hazardous Waste Interrogator 2007: High-Level Waste Movements in England and Wales

2007 hazardous waste movement summaries from the Environment Agency's AfA229 product. The Agency legally monitors all hazardous waste movements in England and Wales, with producers registering and disposal sites reporting. This high-level summary includes waste classification, geographical locations of production and management, and tonnage, but excludes individual site and producer details.

• Study regulatory compliance trends based on legally mandated monitoring data

Strengths

• Data is sourced from legally mandated monitoring by the Environment Agency
