You can use a waste carrier registered in another region, but they must obtain a permit to operate in the Scottish Borders. The permits are primarily intended for businesses registered in the area, although companies carrying out work in the region can apply for a permit by contacting Scottish Borders Council.
Here’s a quick summary:
| Waste Carrier Status | Permit Requirement |
|---|---|
| Registered in Scottish Borders | Required |
| Registered outside Scottish Borders | Permit needed to operate |
Make sure the waste carrier is compliant with the local regulations by holding a valid Waste Carrier’s Licence or Professional Transporter and Carrier of Waste registration. For more details or to apply for a permit, you can apply online.
