Loose materials and waste such as dust or sand can easily be blown off your property by the wind, washed away by rain or carried away after being washed or blown into drains.

If you need to store waste or materials on your premises then you keep them in a way where they cannot escape.

This means that your business premises should be set up to keep all waste and materials under control. Storage options include bins, tanks, hoppers and bunded areas, all of which may need to be covered by a roof to prevent carriage by rain or wind.

Failure to store waste and materials properly is an offence and may result in an Environment Protection Order, a fine or court action.
