The Environment Agency is the competent authority for the waste management licensing regime. However, waste collection authorities have powers to take action against illegal waste disposal or ““fly-tipping””. Under the voluntary fly-tipping protocol agreement, local authorities focus on the smaller incidents of illegal waste disposal whereas the Environment Agency deals with larger, more serious incidents.The Waste Management (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 will implement some provisions of the Waste Framework Directive (75/442/EEC as amended by 91/156/EEC).
