"I've had some discussions with a very nice person at the Environment Agency. Their response is very clear and helpful. Briefly (in my words):
- The issue here is entirely for members, who may be obliged to register, most commonly if they are doing this as part of their business. See [2] for more details.
- More generally, everyone using Freegle is responsible for their Duty of Care to dispose of waste responsibly. See [3] for details.
- Local Freegle-affiliated groups, and Freegle nationally, are under no legal obligation to register themselves, to verify the registration status of members, nor to ensure that members are familiar with their obligations under the Duty of Care.
