Waste Management Regulations
An intensive programme of regulatory updating has been carried out under the 1996 Act. These Regulations address matters such as waste planning, producer responsibility obligations, the movement, transhipment and general control of hazardous wastes, and public access to information, as well as waste licensing and permitting.
All regulations can be viewed on http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ and the central legislation area of this website.
