Abstract

These Regulations make provision for implementing Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Act (waste sent to landfills) including the landfill allowances scheme under that Part. Part 2 includes provisions on the allocation, banking, borrowing and transfer of landfill allowances. After the Secretary of State has made an allocation of landfill allowances under section 4 of the Act, the monitoring authority is required under regulation 5 to assign reference numbers to those allowances and to allocate them to the landfill allowance accounts of waste disposal authorities. Part 3 concerns the monitoring of the landfill allowances scheme. Part 4 contains provisions on registers. The monitoring authority must maintain a landfill allowances register, and the Secretary of State must maintain a penalties register. Part 5 contains provisions on penalties. Part 6 concerns guidance. It requires waste disposal authorities to have regard to any guidance issued by the Secretary of State in exercising functions in relation to biodegradable municipal waste.
