These regulations follow on from the Waste Management (Shipments of Waste) Regulations 2007 (S.I. No. 419 of 2007).

A waste broker arranges to handle, transport, dispose of or recover controlled waste on behalf of others. Waste brokers include waste dealers who acquire waste and sell it on.

Any individual or business that arranges the collection, recycling, recovery or disposal of waste on behalf of another party must register as a waste broker with the National TFS Office.

Waste brokers and dealers include:

  • Businesses that buy and sell scrap metal and other recoverable materials. They may operate from a yard or act as a third party making the buying and selling arrangements for the materials.
  • Businesses arranging the disposal of waste on behalf of another company or waste producer.
  • Waste disposal operators or carriers arranging the disposal or recovery of waste not covered by their own licence.

A broker shares responsibility with the waste holders for the proper management of waste before and after its transfer and they are legally responsible for its proper handling and disposal. Guidance for brokers and registration and renewal forms are downloadable below.

Any person who arranges for the shipment of waste which is subject to the TFS Regulation and the Brokers and Dealers Regulation has a responsibility to use only a broker or dealer who is registered with the competent authority. Any person who contravenes these provisions shall be guilty of an offence.
