Terms of use

Last updated: 23 October 2026

About these terms

wasteindustry.co.uk is run by WasteLinks Marketplace Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17411275). By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Using the site

The site is free to read. Please do not misuse it: do not try to get into parts of it you are not meant to, interfere with how it works, upload anything harmful, or copy it automatically on a scale that affects other readers. We may change, pause or withdraw any part of the site without notice.

Our content

Unless an article says otherwise, its words, pictures and design belong to WasteLinks Marketplace Ltd or the people who licensed them to us. You are welcome to share links to our articles and to quote short extracts with a credit and a link. Please ask us before republishing a whole article.

Official texts

Some articles reproduce public sector information from GOV.UK and legislation.gov.uk. Each one is marked with its source and contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. You can reuse those texts under that licence, ideally from the original source.

News, not advice

We work hard to be accurate, but our articles are news and information, not legal, financial or compliance advice. Rules change and legislation is amended: before you act, check the official source (legislation.gov.uk shows the latest version of each law) or take professional advice.

Adverts and sponsored content

Adverts and sponsored articles are labelled. Advertisers are responsible for their adverts and the claims in them. Articles about WasteLinks, the company that owns Waste Industry, say so at the top.

Things you send us

If you send us a story, a photo or other material, you confirm that you have the right to share it, and you allow us to publish, edit and credit it. We are not obliged to publish anything we receive.

Other websites

Links to other websites are there for your information. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for them.

Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Apart from that, we are not responsible for any loss that comes from using the site or relying on its content, and if you use the site for business we are not responsible for loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts or opportunity.

The law that applies

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales deal with any dispute. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings there.

Changes
