Welcome to RRS

The Recycling Registration Service is a registration scheme to assist in enabling local authorities to achieve higher rates of recycling in their relevant jurisdictions than would otherwise be achievable. The Recycling Registration Service will also accelerate resource efficiency by contributing to the efficiency and reliability of markets for recycled materials.

The RRS was launched on 2 April 2007.

The Code's objective is to establish a scheme under which each Member can demonstrate that waste material handled or processed at Registered MRFs and exported out of the UK by a Member or a Broker acting on its behalf:

• is handled or processed at the Registered MRFs in accordance with good industry practice in the UK;
  
• accords with Green List Waste Guidance as verified from time to time by the Auditor operating under the Scheme;
  
• when exported goes to a Recovery Facility that is authorised to operate under applicable domestic legislation, is in general compliance with all applicable domestic environmental and health and safety legislation and is operated to standards broadly equivalent to European Union standards.

Should your organisation wish to take part in the scheme please contact us.
