Code of Practice for Licensed General Waste Collectors

Introduction

To protect the health of Singaporeans, our waste must be collected safely and without harm to the environment. Licensed general waste collectors have an important role to play. They provide an essential service in Singapore by collecting and transporting waste to proper disposal facilities. In order to safeguard public health, waste collectors should maintain high service standards and conduct their operations professionally. Only through professionalism and quality service can we improve standards of waste collection and enhance the quality of life for Singaporeans. 

This Code of Practice provides guidelines on what is good practice in the waste collection business. Adhering to these guidelines is the first step licensed general waste collectors must take towards improving the standards of their operations. To respond to changing circumstances and needs, amendments and revisions will be made to these guidelines from time to time. National Environment Agency (NEA) will keep waste collectors updated so that we can work together in our continuing efforts to improve public health standards in Singapore.
