Part 3: Waste and Resource Efficiency Section 57: Separation of waste
Section 57 concerns the separation of waste for recycling. It amends the Environmental Protection Act 1990, in particular replacing the current section 45A and inserting new sections 45AZA to 45AZG. It also amends sections 41 (powers to make charging schemes) and 108 (powers of entry) of the Environment Act 1995.
	Subsection (2) inserts a new subsection (4A) with additional definitions into section 30 (definitions of authorities) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. These define "English waste disposal authority" and "English waste collection authority" as those whose area is in England. A waste collection authority is defined in section 30(3) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Given the section 45A duties apply to arrangements made by English waste collection authorities only, this has the effect of limiting the changes in the new section 45A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to waste collection authorities in England.
	Subsection (3) amends section 33ZA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which relates to fixed penalty notices, to omit the definition of "English waste collection authority". This is because the definition is now provided in the amended section 30 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
	Subsection (4) amends the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to provide for separate collection of recyclable waste in England. It replaces section 45A with new sections 45A to 45AZG.
