Legal Responsibilities and Compliance
Under UK law, all waste generated by a campsite, caravan site, or holiday park is classed as commercial waste. This means site operators must:
- Store, transport, and dispose of waste using licensed carriers
- Maintain a Waste Transfer Note (WTN) for every collection
- Ensure waste is categorised under the correct European Waste Catalogue (EWC) code
- Follow environmental legislation such as the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Duty of Care regulations
Mick George Group takes care of these requirements on your behalf, ensuring all waste is managed in line with the latest regulatory standards. We also provide waste reporting and compliance documentation to support your environmental audits and accreditations.
How to Reduce Waste at Your Campsite or Holiday Park
Reducing waste not only cuts costs but also strengthens your site’s eco-friendly image. Here are some proven strategies:
- Install recycling stations in multiple high-traffic areas
- Provide clear signage and guidance for guests on how to separate waste
- Use compostable or recyclable products in onsite shops and cafés
- Schedule frequent collections during peak season to prevent overflow
- Educate guests through information boards and digital welcome packs
Simple changes can make a significant difference to your environmental performance, and your guests will appreciate your commitment to protecting the great outdoors.
