EPA Accredited Consigner
Authorised to manage prescribed industrial waste across Victoria — giving your business the assurance of full regulatory compliance.
What Is an EPA Accredited Consigner?
Under the Environment Protection Act 2017 (Victoria), any organisation that generates, transports or accepts prescribed industrial waste must comply with strict regulatory requirements. An EPA Accredited Consigner is an organisation that has been formally assessed and approved by the EPA to manage prescribed industrial waste — one of a select group across Victoria with this authorisation.
Merton Environmental holds this accreditation. When you work with us to manage your prescribed industrial waste, you have the confidence of knowing every step — from your site to final disposal — is handled by an organisation the EPA has evaluated and approved.
What Our Accreditation Covers
📜
Prescribed Waste Consignment
We are authorised to act as the consigner on EPA waste transport certificates for prescribed industrial waste — providing legally compliant documentation for every movement of waste from your site.
🗂️
Waste Classification
Accurate classification of your waste against EPA Victoria prescribed waste categories. Correct classification is essential for selecting the right transport and disposal pathway and avoiding compliance breaches.
🔗
Chain of Custody
Complete chain-of-custody documentation from point of generation to final disposal destination. Our records provide the evidence you need to demonstrate compliance to regulators and auditors.
🚛
Licensed Carrier Coordination
We coordinate transport using EPA-licensed waste carriers, verifying their credentials and ensuring all transport requirements under the Environment Protection Regulations are met.
🏭
Approved Facility Placement
All waste managed through our accredited consigner service is directed to EPA-approved receiving facilities with the correct licence to accept and treat your specific waste category.
📊
Regulatory Reporting
EPA waste reporting, licence condition tracking and regulatory correspondence support. We keep you informed of your compliance position and help you respond to any regulatory queries.
Why use an EPA Accredited Consigner?
As a waste generator, you retain responsibility for your prescribed waste even after it leaves your site. If your waste is incorrectly managed by a non-compliant carrier or facility, you can still face regulatory consequences. Using an EPA Accredited Consigner like Merton Environmental significantly reduces this risk — providing documented evidence that you have met your duty of care obligations under Victorian law.
