Managing the Island’s hazardous waste
Waste management businesses across the Island are governed by the Waste Management (Jersey) Law 2005. The law aims to protect the Island and its inhabitants from the potentially polluting aspects of handling waste management operations.
In addition to the law, Jersey is part of the Basel Convention which is an international agreement committed to improving the management of hazardous waste and its potentially damaging associated health and environmental impacts.
