AVR-Safeway Ltd. is not a broker and takes legal ownership of the waste on acceptance in the transfer station.

What does this mean?

According to EU Legislation, a licensed transfer station is equivalent to a disposal or recovery facility. In essence, once a transfer station accepts the waste, it then effectively becomes the “producer” of the waste and is now totally liable for that waste. Brokers don’t offer any liability at all. Only AVR Safeway offers public liability, marine liability and PALL of €13 million for each.

Arthur Cox Solicitors established that an appropriate person can assume the legal ownership of hazardous waste according to EU law.

The EPA confirmed that “AVR Safeway is an appropriate person in accordance with Section 32(5) of the Waste Management Act, 1996 for the collection, recovery and disposal of specified waste”.

One of our greatest services therefore is our Customer Care Protection on the basis of the legal ownership.
