From April 2010, the Returns screens in the Online Waste Levy System (OWLS) are changing to include new labels for Diverted Tonnage, and a new Cover Material voluntary reporting screen. This document provides supplementary guidance to disposal facility operators on diverted tonnage and cover material.
You will need to use this guide together with the Calculation and Payment of the Waste Disposal Levy guide, which covers information about the:
- Waste Minimisation Act 2008
- Waste Minimisation (Calculation and Payment of Waste Disposal Levy) Regulations 2009
- disposal facility operator’s responsibilities regarding the levy.
