If you want to collect or transport waste or trade waste, you must declare the activity to the competent authority.

As a collector, transporter, dealer and broker of non-hazardous waste, you report this activity to the competent authority. If you carry out this activity with hazardous waste, you usually have to apply for a permit. If you are exempt from the permission requirement, you must attach additional documents to your ad. If you have already reported your activity and your details have changed significantly, you must file the notification again. The notification obligation applies to both national and cross-border shipments of waste.

There is also an obligation to notify companies that only handle waste as an ancillary service (e.g. craftsmen and service companies).
