Upper tier waste carrier registration
145,860 of the 418,521 registrations in England are upper tier — 34.9 %.
An upper tier registration is what a business needs to carry, broker or deal in other people's waste for money. If someone is taking waste away from your premises as a service, this is the registration they must hold.
This is the one to check. If a business collects waste from your site as a service, and holds only a lower tier registration, you have not met your duty of care by handing it over — the obligation is on you, the producer, not only on them.
The letter in the number is not the tier
Registration numbers begin CBDU or CBDL, and it is tempting to read the U as upper and the L as lower. Usually that holds. On 397 of the 418,521 registrations it does not — 375 numbers starting CBDU are lower tier, and 22 starting CBDL are upper tier.
It is a small share, and that is exactly what makes it worth knowing: a rule that works on 999 numbers out of a thousand is the kind you stop checking. Read the tier from the record, not from the letter.
