Decisions on charging are a matter for local authorities. Waste disposal authorities are under a duty to provide places where their residents may deposit household waste free of charge. However, not all waste from domestic property is ‘household’ waste for these purposes, and there is no duty to accept non-household waste at such sites.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 02/07/2015 08:19:09 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
