There are exemptions from this for certain categories, provided they produce less than 200Kgs in 12 months. A list of exemptions can be found here:-

There is no exemption if you produce more than 200Kgs.
CRTs (monitors) are only classified as hazardous waste if they have their cases smashed, the screen smashed or have screen burn. If they can be repaired then we can sell them on for repair and rectification. However, we get paid just £1.70 per monitor and have to take them to Birmingham to get that! So you can understand that carrying just monitors around the country costs us money in staff time and fuel. So please do not be offended or surprised if we look to charge you £2.50 per monitor if it is only monitors you are asking us to collect.
Waste carriers, such as ourselves will not be permitted to collect from unregistered premises (on pain of death or a fine as they feel appropriate).
