This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to take all reasonable steps to avoid contaminating other waste withPOPswhen you shred waste upholstered domestic seating at a waste treatment site.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
This RPS has been updated to incorporate the requirements of RPS 297 monitoring fugitive emissions from shredding waste which has been withdrawn. It allows you to shred waste upholstered domestic seating at permitted sites whilst you monitor emissions from the shredding of WUDS.
