This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to take all reasonable steps to avoid contaminating other waste with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) when you receive and store items of waste upholstered domestic seating at a HWRC.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action for not keeping to this legal requirement when segregating waste upholstered domestic seating at a HWRC if you comply with the requirements in this RPS.

This enforcement position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
