Don't think so.  There was a thread on the VOD recently about the need for a WCL ...  http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=35944#pid406562
I think urbanvibration is waiting for a reply to a letter he sent.

A few years back there was a guy from the EA who posted on the VOD, which was really useful, but he hasn't posted for ages.

No, it was an alternative to a waste management licence, I think.

SIC codes identify the business type and stands for Standard Industrial Classification (explained on the wiki).

Don't quite know who is going to use this information and how.  Anyone visiting/investigating the business will know what type of business it is, so no need to have it on their copy and unless everyone handling waste sends copies to some big brother, the info on our copies will sit for two years unread.  I guess compiling all these regulations helps keep Civil Servants in a job, them or our European brothers in Brussels!

It's all about businesses complying with EA site licenses,
they will have a list of codes they can handle / except on site,
and have to prove they have been transported, stored and disposed of in the correct manner.

We have just been caught up in all the red tape, even though we fall below it.

If I understand it correctly, the SIC code defines the business, not the waste.  So it still all seems a bit pointless a business could quite likely generate waste which is outside their norm.

If a Florist, whose normal waste is compostable, say flower stems, dead flowers etc, wants to dispose of old paint they used to paint the shop (perfectly legitimate waste in the course of their business), they can what .... compost the paint?

Pointless for us certainly, but I struggle to see any advantage or usefulness elsewhere.
