Schedule 5: Producer responsibility for disposal costs Part 1: Requirements "Disposal costs" and "disposal"
Paragraph 2 makes provision for determining what disposal costs are. These costs may include the costs of collecting, transporting, sorting, and treating products or materials for disposal. They may also include the costs of providing the public with information about the disposal of products, for example through communication campaigns. Costs in relation to products or materials that have been disposed of unlawfully may also be included (for example, the costs of clearing up products or materials that have been littered or fly-tipped). Sub-paragraph (2) clarifies that "disposal" includes the re-use, redistribution, recovery, and recycling of products or materials. Sub-paragraph (4) allows for disposal costs to be calculated in accordance with provision made in the regulations.
