3. You keep records of all waste that you transfer or receive for at least two years.

1. Stop anyone storing, disposing of or recovering your waste unless they have a waste management licence or an exemption from the need for a licence. Check their licence or exemption to make sure that they are within its conditions.
2. Package all waste materials appropriately and robustly to stop them escaping from your, or anyone else's control.
3. Ensure that your waste is only transferred to a person or business authorised to deal with your particular type of waste.
